The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA deletions as Caenorhabditis elegans ages

Creator:: Thompson, Emily J.
Abstract:: Though previous genetic research studies performed on Caenorhabditis elegans found that high levels of endogenous oxidative stress resulted in decreased health, and that mitochondrial DNA deletions accumulated with age in these organisms, no studies have been conducted to link these two separate findings. This study correlated these separate results by...

The Design of SWEsters Mentorship Program for First-Year Engineering Student Success

Creator:: Thompson, Tatiana A.
Abstract:: In order to support first-year women in engineering, a program was designed to help their transition to college and promote connection with other women. The program focused on three main areas based in research: mentor matching with mentee input, regular formal meetings in small mentoring groups, and the formation of...

Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

Creator:: Thompson, Kyle B.
Abstract:: In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...

The Cathelicidin Anti-microbial peptide gene alters the mouse gut microbiome

Creator:: Rouches, Miles V.
Abstract:: The gut microbiome influences human disease including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome and interacts with the innate immune system. The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (hCAMP), an important component of the innate immune system, and vitamin D and xanthohumol, a natural compound found in beer hops, regulate its expression....

The Generation of a Zebrafish Microbial Culture Collection to Facilitate Mechanistic Understanding of Host-Microbe Interactions

Creator:: VanderHoek, Zoe K.
Abstract:: A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that relationships exist between the microbiome and vertebrate health and disease. The zebrafish is a frequently utilized model organism to support this claim. Specifically, its gut microbiome is an advantageous resource for the study of microbiome health and diversity. While it is an...

The Stories We Will Tell : An Exploration of Family History through Autobiography and Record Analysis

Creator:: Peabody, Anna M.
Abstract:: The research of genealogy and family history can represent a means of self-discovery, connection, and preservation of the past. The experience is individualistic, unique to the intricate intertwining of lives that helped create and influence who we are today. Through the analysis of historical biographies, family documents, and autobiographical vignettes,...

Mutagenic Analysis of Victorin Sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana and Avena sativa

Creator:: Seshadri, Rishi S.
Abstract:: The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus victoriae, the causal agent of Victoria blight, produces a host-selective pathogenicity factor called victorin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a dominant gene called "supersense" (SSN) confers constitutive victorin sensitivity at very low concentrations. SSN encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein. In the SSN-carrying Heiligkreuztal 2 ecotype (TAIR Germplasm...

Effects of Oxidative Stress on Circadian Gene Expression during Aging

Creator:: Bonar, Tara
Abstract:: All organisms possess circadian clocks, which generate daily oscillations in clock controlled gene expression that regulate many essential biological functions in synchrony with the 24-hour light/dark cycles. When the genes that control the internal clock are weakened, accelerated aging symptoms are observed. Past research in Drosophila demonstrated that aging flies...

Localized Structures in a Diffusive Run-and-Tumble Model of Myxococcus xanthus

Creator:: Flynn, Patrick Thomas
Abstract:: The bacteria Myxococcus xanthus clusters into fruiting bodies in the absence of food. The movement of M. xanthus has three aspects: self-propulsion (run), change of direction due to collision (tumble), and Brownian fluctuations in movement. We propose a minimalist PDE model for the concentrations of left and right moving agents...

Hypothalamic Leptin Gene Therapy Does Not Prevent Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss in Rats

Creator:: Jackson, Melanie A.
Abstract:: Post-menopausal women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis due to increased bone resorption associated with estrogen deficiency. Subcutaneous administration of leptin, a hormone produced primarily by adipocytes, attenuates bone loss in the ovariectomized (ovx) rat, an animal model for post-menopausal bone loss. Leptin has both direct peripheral and indirect...
