The Distribution of Autophagosomes is Altered by the Phospholipase A2 Inhibitor ONO-RS-082
(2022-01)When cells are starved of essential nutrients, autophagy, a process of self-digestion, is induced for cell survival. Previous studies in mammalian cells have shown that a structurally intact Golgi complex negatively regulates ... -
The Metal Requirements of Bacillus subtilis
(2021-12)Metal ions are essential for many biological processes across all domains of life. In Bacillus subtilis, they function as essential cofactors for enzymes, a component of biosensors for oxidative damage, in the assembly of ... -
A study on the effectiveness of different RNAi expression systems in arresting Drosophila melanogaster embryos during early development
(2021-07)The technique to arrest Drosophila melanogaster embryos at a specific developmental stage is desirable to various applications that require a population with relatively uniform amount of DNA. One example is to measure the ... -
Identification of protein interaction partners of two-component system CvsSR in Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato DC3000.
(2021-06)Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato (Pto) is a hemibiotrophic plant pathogen that proliferates aggressively in the tomato plant’s apoplast to cause disease. The Pto two-component system (TCS) CvsSR is essential for ... -
Investigating the seasonal migration of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and the influence of temperature on movement ecology
(2021-03)The pelagic Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is the target of a popular recreational fishery from the Gulf of Mexico to the mid-Atlantic that shifts seasonally as these fish migrate along the east coast of the United States. ... -
Investigations into the impact of and mechanisms behind age-associated impaired healing following peripheral nerve injury
(2020-08)Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) present a challenging and debilitating problem to both patients and the healthcare industry . Elderly patients in particular demonstrate a significantly reduced rate of recovery after PNI, ... -
Exploring the role of differential gene expression in the age-associated impairment of peripheral nerve regeneration
(2020-06)The peripheral nervous system’s ability to regenerate after injury declines with age, but the reason for why this occurs is unknown. With the goal to understand the role of age-associated transcriptional changes in the ... -
Genetic Basis of Rotenone-induced Parkinson’s Disease Model in Drosophila melanogaster
(2020-06)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that exists in sporadic and familial forms and causes the death of dopamine-producing neurons in humans. Rotenone, a pesticide, can be used to induce a model of sporadic ... -
Developing a Tool to Confirm the Successful Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells into Cardiomyocytes
(2020-06)Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States since 1921 (Greenlund et al., 2006). However, age-adjusted cardiovascular disease death rates have declined by 55% since 1950, a trend that is in part ... -
The Paradox of Commodified Music in Decadence
(2020-06-22)This thesis explores music as an art form, in the context of the socioeconomic period of industrialization, where all things, including art, were increasingly commodified. This work is particularly fixed around the 1890s, ...
