Enhanced Protein Homeostasis Mechanisms in Naked Mole Rats Cells

Creator:: Pride, Harrison, Coles, Alex, Mochnick, Jillian, Zhang, Yiqiang, Buffenstein, Rochelle, Hornsby, Peter J., Austad, Steve, Richardson, Arlan, and Perez, Viviana I.
Abstract:: Phylogenic studies suggest that cells from long-lived species are more resistant to a variety of stressors than short-lived species. However, there is little information on the cellular mechanisms that give rise to increased resistance to stress. Our previous studies have shown that liver proteins from a long-lived species have lower...

Development of Sex Markers for Rockfishes, Sebastes, inhabiting the Northeast Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Aycock, Hannah
Abstract:: Rockfishes (Sebastes) are important species for commercial and recreational fishing, as well as evolutionary and ecological research.

Anaerobic Dechlorination of PCE to Ethene, Modeling, and Characterization of the Factors Affecting the Transformation Rates

Creator:: Albers, Delancy R.
Abstract:: Tetrachlorethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) were common solvents used in the 1970’s that are now frequently observed groundwater contaminants. One method of remediating these contaminants is in-situ bioremediation that uses a dechlorinating microbial population. The microbial population performs the sequential reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (c-DCE), vinyl...
