  • Impacts of mangrove conditions on zooplankton communities

    Creator:
    Frasier, Kaitlin E.
    Abstract:
    Mangroves are becoming increasingly recognized as important nursery habitats for many juvenile fish and macroinvertebrate species, however little is known about their importance for zooplankton communities. The complex structure of mangrove environments may provide zooplankton populations with shelter, substrate, food, and protection from depredation. These factors could impact zooplankton survival,...

  • Chandler Loop Model for the Development of Dynamic Hemocompatibility Assays

    Creator:
    Hasbrook, AnneMarie V.
    Abstract:
    A common issue with extracorporeal medical devices is blood clotting due to bio-incompatibility. Systemic anticoagulants are often prescribed to mitigate the coagulation issues. However, such drugs can lead to further complications, for example hemorrhaging. One solution to improve the hemocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices are biomaterials, such as slippery liquid...

  • Circadian Clock Disruption via Exposure to Extended Light at Night (LAN) Alters Epigenetic Expression of CKI Genes in the Murine Mammary Gland

    Creator:
    Rogers, Zackry L.
    Abstract:
    Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with an estimated 12.4% of American women diagnosed with this tumor type. Evidence suggests that exogenous disruptors can exert epigenetic changes leading to aberrant gene expression, shifting the cellular balance toward oncogenesis. While chemical pollutant exposure is well-studied, light...

  • Luteinizing hormone receptor-mediated cell proliferation in canine T-cell lymphoma cells

    Creator:
    Flint, Camryn
    Abstract:
    Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted in low-amplitude pulses in sexually intact dogs to stimulate synthesis of estrogen and testosterone in females and males, respectively. LH is mainly considered a reproductive hormone, but LH receptors (LHR) have been identified in non-reproductive tissues, including in canine lymphoma and isolated canine T-cell lymphoma...

  • Visualizing Internalization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles by Canine Osteosarcoma Cells

    Creator:
    Bilal, Jumanah
    Abstract:
    Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a primary malignant bone tumor sarcoma that occurs in dogs as well as people and has aggressive biologic behavior with devastating consequences. Because of the similarities in morphology and prognosis, OSA in dogs represents an effective model for the equivalent disease in humans. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)...

  • Material science in menstrual health and hygiene

    Creator:
    Aduviri, Brooke
    Abstract:
    Menstrual health and hygiene insecurity is a global health issue people across the world face, particularly in developing countries. According to the World Bank, an estimated 500 million lack access to adequate menstrual products, and “to effectively manage their menstruation, women and girls require access to water, sanitation, and hygiene...

  • SIMstat: Hardware Design Considerations for Implementing a Low-Cost, Portable Potentiostat

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Electroanalytical techniques allow scientists and engineers to characterize bulk solutions as well as interfaces. Potentiostats are commonly used by researchers in a variety of disciplines to analyze the chemistry which occurs at a working electrode surface. Advancements in microelectronics and the proliferation of open-source designs have allowed researchers to construct...

  • Differential Allele Expression of SOD1 in Biomphalaria glabrata

    Creator:
    Carolla, Samantha M.
    Abstract:
    The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata serves as the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. Previous studies using the 13-16-R1 strain of B. glabrata demonstrated an association between the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and susceptibility/resistance to the parasite. This association is assumed to involve a polymorphism that...

    Creator:
    Johnson, Nicole Brooke
    Abstract:
    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is described as a developmental disability characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive or restricted movements. It has been shown that as children with ASD age, their cognitive and social skills improve with time, and physical activity has been linked with improving aspects of...
