Identifying and preserving bison lineages: A case study of the National Bison Range lineage
(2011-08-04)
While over 500,000 bison exist today, the long-term conservation of this species is not assured because only five percent of all bison are maintained in conservation herds and genetic evidence of domestic cattle introgression ...
Regulation of Colonocyte Apoptosis by Bcl-2: Influence of Chemotherapeutic Dietary Agents
(2011-08-04)
This study intends to elucidate a mechanism of cancer prevention by certain nutrients. The health benefits of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, e.g., docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and fiber are well documented. It has been ...
Interaction of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus S2 with Cellular OS-9
(2011-08-04)
Equine infectious anemia virus is a retrovirus that encodes four accessory proteins in addition to three structural proteins. One of the accessory proteins, designated only as ‘S2’ is of unknown function. S2 has been shown ...
A Precision Agriculture Approach to Managing Cotton Fiber Quality as a Function of Variable Soil Properties
(2011-08-04)
Cotton producers can maximize yield and fiber quality by understanding soil variability
throughout the fields, thus receiving premium prices for the cotton lint. A better
understanding of how soil water holding capacity ...
Effects of Simvastatin and Fluvastatin on Endothelial Invasion
(2011-08-04)
Endothelial invasion is a crucial step in angiogenic blood vessel formation and has ramifications in wound healing, tumor growth, and may have implications in heart disease. During invasion quiescent endothelial cells (ECs) ...

(2011-08-04)
A new fossil vertebrate fauna consisting of fish, snake, and small mammalian remains was discovered near McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, Texas. Identification and analysis of the species in the cave deposit reveals ...
Investigating Dynamics of the STAT3 and C/EBPβ Pathways upon Stimulation by Inflammatory Cytokines
(2011-08-04)
The purpose of this project was to investigate the dynamics of the Jak-STAT3 (STAT3) and Erk-C/EBPβ (C/EBPβ) pathways upon stimulation with inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and oncostatin M (OSM), which ...
