Experiences of Weight-Based Stigmatization in Healthcare among Young Adults and Impact on Healthcare Engagement

Creator:: Bean, Maddison M.
Abstract:: Weight-based stigmatization (WBS) exists in healthcare and can be categorized as direct, indirect, or structural. WBS is harmful to individual’s health and contributes to worse healthcare engagement, including reduced care satisfaction, patient-centered communication (PCC), and utilization of services. Little is known about young adults’ experiences of WBS in healthcare. Young...

Regulation of Redox Homeostasis in Skin Cells for the Prevention of UV-Induced Stress and Treatment of Melanoma

Creator:: Carpenter, Evan L.
Abstract:: Melanocytes are dendritic, pigment-producing cells located in the skin and are responsible for its protection against the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which include DNA damage and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). They do so by synthesizing photoprotective melanin pigments and distributing them to adjacent skin cells (e.g.,...

Exploring the Relationships Between Stable Water Isotope Ratios and Large Scale Atmospheric Circulation in Paleoclimate Settings Using an Isotope-Enabled General Circulation Model

Creator:: Niezgoda, Kyle
Abstract:: Climate model simulations and paleoclimate proxies are two tools that enable an understanding of the climate history of the Earth. When utilized together, they form a powerful paradigm for understanding past changes. Proxies are the only physical link to the past conditions on Earth, and models “fill in the gaps”...

Structure and Dynamics of the Canine (Canis familiaris) Nasal Microbiome

Creator:: Knorr, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The diverse community of bacteria living within and on host organisms, known as the microbiome, has an important role in maintaining host health. Dysbiosis, known as a change in the healthy community of the microbiome, has been associated with a number of diseases across host organisms and body sites including...

Tracking Bacterial and Viral Shifts in Three Organisms to Shed Light on the Complex Role of Microbes in Coral Reef Health

Creator:: Messyasz, Adriana
Abstract:: Stony corals are the ecosystem engineers of the vital, dynamic, and complex marine ecosystem known as coral reefs. Globally, coral reefs are undergoing degradation from multiple anthropogenic stressors. Coral reef organism holobionts, or the host along with its microbial components, are key to reef ecosystem success and functioning. Marine microbes...

Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

Creator:: Buser, Jessica Z.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...

Inhalable Lipid Nanoparticles for Messenger RNA Therapeutics

Creator:: Kim, Jeonghwan
Abstract:: Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy has massive potential to treat various genetic disorders by providing effective proteins to the diseased cells and tissues. Its therapeutic applications include protein replacement, genome editing, and immunotherapy. For successful mRNA treatment, mRNA must be delivered to the cytosol of target cells. One of the leading...

The proteomic and transcriptomic responses to iron, sulfur, and nitrogen limitation in the abundant marine bacterium Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique

Creator:: Smith, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Batch cultures of Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique were grown under iron-, organosulfur-, and nitrogen-limiting conditions to understand how this ubiquitous marine bacterium responds to and interacts with environments where growth is limited by the availability of these nutrients. Global gene expression was monitored using microarrays and quantitative mass spectrometry to observe...

Cellular Recognition, Division, and Proliferation in the Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis

Creator:: Tivey, Trevor R.
Abstract:: Cnidarians and their symbiotic dinoflagellates form a productive mutualism that shapes marine environments. In this symbiosis, dinoflagellate species from the family Symbiodiniacea reside within cnidarian host gastrodermal cells and provide the host with photosynthetically fixed carbon in exchange for host metabolites. This nutritional exchange allows both partners to thrive in...

16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing Reveals Trends in Marine Bacterial Diversity and Taxonomic Composition in Natural and Human-built Systems

Creator:: Morelan, Ian A.
Abstract:: Bacteria are abundant in marine environments. They play important roles in nutrient cycling and form symbiotic interactions with eukaryotes. However, the vast majority of bacterial taxa are difficult to maintain in laboratory cultures, meaning that most microbiological research of the past century has focused on a small subset of bacteria....
