    Abstract:
    Farensoid X Receptor (FXR) is a very flavoring protein for the treatment and prevention of the many conditions related to metabolic syndrome. Our experiment explores the binding activities of FXR when introduced to various natural and synthetic ligands. Currently, an initial assay showing the Stern-Volmer relationship of our date supports...

    Abstract:
    We proposed to test the hypothesis that ecologically relevant concentrations of pesticide mixtures will increase susceptibility of metamorphic amphibians to a fungal pathogen known as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or Bd. Bd has received considerable attention as one of the causes of declining amphibian populations. We hypothesized that exposure to the contaminants...

    Abstract:
    In this study, the gene expression levels between 6 month old mice and 26 month old mice were compared. The purpose of this research was to identify genes that are differentially regulated due to aging. The results showed 148 significantly differentiated genes in the analysis of a total of 44,170...

  • Calpain 2 regulates proteolysis of Akt in glioblastoma cell invasion

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Maria and Greenwood, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    Glioblastoma multiforme is a form of primary brain cancer in humans with a 5 year survival rate of less than 4%. Glioblastoma cells are characterized by their highly invasive nature linked to mutations in key signaling proteins such as PTEN, resulting in loss of expression of this lipid phosphatase. When...

  • Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

    Creator:
    Tong, Tony T.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

  • Factors that Modify and Control Bcl11b, a Tumor Suppressor Protein

    Creator:
    Shen, Connie Guo
    Abstract:
    The experiments explained in this Honors thesis are focused on finding a cellular model for analyzing Bcl11b, a transcription factor dysregulated in 20% of cases of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL). Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer. Because T-ALL is a result of incorrect thymocyte development, research...

  • Student, teaching assistant, and faculty learning during innovation in an introductory biology course

    Creator:
    Blair, Lesley
    Abstract:
    This study examined the dynamics of student, teaching assistant (TA), and faculty learning in relationship to implementation of a genetic technologies project in a university introductory biology course. Research focused on the types of learning that occurred and the various factors impacting that learning. Study participants included 25 undergraduate non-science...
