The analysis of kisspeptin neuronal exosomes and their effects on neuronal plasticity of downstream gonadotropin-releasing hormone expressing neurons

Creator:: Ewton, Jessica
Abstract:: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are able to trigger the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone which control the maturation of oocytes and ovulation which is vital for reproduction. They are the most downstream neurons that project to the median eminence into the pituitary portal where they release GnRH. Modulation...

The Analysis of Kisspeptin Neuronal Exosomes and their Effects in the Periphery at the Level of the Bone

Creator:: James, Teagan
Abstract:: Estrogen (E2) is essential for multiple physiological effects in females, ensuring maximum reproductive fitness and maintaining skeletal homeostasis. E2 has been shown to stimulate cancellous bone formation via activation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), an effect widely accepted to be mediated directly at bone. A recent landmark study by Herber...

Interaction of the human Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 protein (VDAC-1) with Mycobacterium avium and its role in bacterial survival within phagocytic cells

Creator:: Pham, Tuan
Abstract:: M. avium is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects macrophages. In order to survive within the macrophage, M. avium secretes proteins into the host cell cytoplasm to inhibit specific functions such as phagosome acidification, altering pathways as well as initiating apoptosis. However, little is known about how those secreted proteins...

Molecular origins of peptide entrapment within polyethylene oxide brush layers

Creator:: Lampi, Marsha C.
Abstract:: Effective surface coatings for tissue-contacting medical devices should prevent both biofilm formation and infection. One method to achieve this aim is protein repellant polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush coatings loaded with antimicrobials. Previous research has demonstrated that the antimicrobial nisin adsorbs to PEO brush layers in multi-layer amounts and suggests that...
