  • Addressing ALS: Corroborating the Methodology of Studying the P2X7R Complex

    Creator:
    Veytsman, Edward Y.
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...

  • Gross causes of neonatal mortality in Devon Rex and Persian kittens

    Creator:
    Omoto, Holly
    Abstract:
    Post-mortem examinations were performed on 29 deceased Persian kittens from 13 different litters, and 30 deceased Devon Rex kittens from 18 different litters in order to identify gross anatomical abnormalities. Fifteen kittens were stillborn (8 Devon Rex, 7 Persian), 17 kittens died during the first day of life (16 Devon...

  • Impaired epidermal homeostasis in Bcl11bR3S/R3S homozygous mutant mice

    Creator:
    Kelly, Avalon G.
    Abstract:
    BCL11B, also known as CTIP2, is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in the regulation and development of many tissues and organ systems, including the skin. A 2019 study by Goos et. al. uncovered a novel point mutation in BCL11B gene that converted the Arginine(R)-3 residue to a...

  • The Predictability of Qualitative Food Web Dynamics in Response to Extinction and Invasion

    Creator:
    Rockow, David J.
    Abstract:
    Food webs are extraordinarily complex, containing myriad direct interactions and indirect effects. Determining how this network of interactions and effects influences a food web’s qualitative dynamics is a challenging task, especially because data on food web structure and individual interaction strengths is unknown in virtually all real-world ecosystems. The goal...

  • Diet analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from stomach contents off the coast of Newport, Oregon

    Creator:
    Doran, Renee E.
    Abstract:
    Black Rockfish are important commercial and recreational species and understanding their biology is useful in developing best management practices. A common means to assess diet in both freshwater and marine fishes is stomach content analysis, which can determine diet composition and infer foraging behaviors. We conducted a stomach content analysis...

  • The Role of Nrf2 in Brain Cellular Senescence

    Creator:
    Ross, Grace K.
    Abstract:
    Aging is a major risk factor for the deterioration of biochemical pathways that lead to many chronic neurodegenerative disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's Disease). Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging, a condition characterized by stable growth arrest resulting in a cell that no longer divides, but is metabolically active....

  • Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

    Creator:
    Meeker, Alissa R.
    Abstract:
    There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

  • Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

    Creator:
    Oakes, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

    Creator:
    Ray, Darryl
    Abstract:
    This review investigated the cognitive effects of intergenerational trauma. Through a literature review, 622 articles across two databases were examined using bibliography and literature review software to analyze such effects. Six articles were identified and discussed as well as their implications for future research. The supporting articles demonstrated clear cognitive...

  • Genetic and morphological evidence suggests cryptic speciation within the Torrent Sculpin, Cottus rhotheus, across the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Nicholas, Benjamin P.
    Abstract:
    Dwelling on the bottom of large rivers to high alpine streams, freshwater sculpins (genus Cottus) occur in high densities across the Pacific Northwest, with 21 currently recognized species found in the Pacific Northwest. Sculpin fill many ecological roles, with some species serving as important prey sources, and others competing with...
