Building a cassette-based system for combined eukaryotic gene expression

Creator:

Madhira, Raviteja

Abstract:

Gene regulatory networks control the state of a cell. Models of such networks have been produced for sea urchin development and suggest that cell type may be defined by distinct network kernels. Such kernels are composed of a set of sequence specific DNA-binding transcription factors (SSTFs) that maintain each other’s...

Separating Morality From Worldview: Studying Ethics Throughout Time and Across Cultures

Creator:

Hadduck, Alex N.

Abstract:

Seven schools of thought, varying in cosmology and age, were studied in order to glean the ethical precepts and virtues to which each school of thought adhered. These injunctions were put in list-form and compared with respect to both semantics and content. The purpose of this investigation was to look...

Antisense Antibiotics

Creator:

Mitev, Georgi Mitko

Abstract:

Two different types of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) were used to inhibit growth in pure cultures of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and in mouse macrophages infected with S. typhimurium. Both PMOs were 11 bases long and complementary to bases 6-16 of acyl carrier protein mRNA. A membrane-penetrating peptide, (RXR)4XB, was...

Activation and Nuclear Translocation of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 by the MAP Kinase Family

Creator:

Nguyen, Ngan H.

Abstract:

Eukaryotic cells have developed elaborate biochemical processes to counteract oxidative stress, electrophiles, or carcinogens due to environmental insults. One of these important cellular defense mechanisms is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 that have been shown to have decrease activity with age. While the process of which Nrf2 is involved...
