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.,...

Comparison and analysis of small area estimation methods for improving estimates of selected forest attributes

Creator:

Goerndt, Michael E.

Abstract:

One of the most common practices regarding estimation of forest attributes is the partitioning of large forested subpopulations into smaller areas of interest to coincide with specific objectives of present and future forest management. New estimators are needed to improve estimation of selected forest attributes in small areas where the...

Investigation of unique marine environments for microbial natural products

Creator:

Thornburg, Christopher C.

Abstract:

Metagenomics has revealed that the marine microbial biosphere is immensely more diverse than originally considered, and is an almost untapped reservoir for the potential discovery of microbial natural products. Despite numerous advances in culturing, biosynthetic engineering and genomic-based screening efforts to uncover much of this diversity in relatively accessible environments,...
