Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

Creator:: Attridge, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

An Investigation into the Time-Sensitive Color Changing Quality of the Pigment Extracted from Scytalidium ganodermophthorum

Creator:: Walsh, Zielle
Abstract:: Scytalidium ganodermophthorum (Xylogone ganodermophthora) is known as a yellow-pigmenting spalting fungus. However, recent observations have indicated that the dichloromethane-extracted pigment produced by S. ganodermophthorum can vary in color from yellow to green to red to purple, depending on the age of the fungus at harvesting. The timeline and mechanisms behind...

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activation and the Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes

Creator:: Newman, Matthew
Abstract:: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is an important regulator of immune responses in various disease models. In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type 1 diabetes, activation of this receptor leads to suppression of the autoimmune response and limits immune cell infiltration of...
