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 ... -
Parsing complex community interactions with regulators and non-governmental organizations in relation to local environmental management at Honeoye Lake, New York
(2019-05)This research sought to understand the complex interactions between governmental and non-governmental organizations engaged in assessing or managing the environmental issue of cyanobacterial blooms (commonly known as harmful ... -
A comparison of ovarian morphology and reproductive and metabolic features between South Asian and White women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
(2019-05)Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition, with known variability in the severity of its cardinal features and long-term health consequences across races and ethnicities. Diagnosis of ... -
Understanding the mechanism of cargo recognition by the Ssh4-Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase complex at the yeast vacuole membrane
(2019-05)The preservation of a healthy proteome is important for all cellular function. Sequential protein quality control (QC) mechanisms along the endocytic pathway safeguard the identity of different organelles by eliminating ...
