Deshpande, Mugdha Ravindra (2013-05-02)Similar to the development of speech in human infants, song learning in juvenile songbirds starts with memorization of adult vocalizations. Young birds develop their own song as a replica of a memorized adult song model ...
-
Martinez, Veronica Giselle (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Tissue regeneration has intrigued biologists since the eighteenth century. While regeneration has been studied in many species, the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing successful compensation for lost body parts ...
-
Alfonso Parra, Catalina (2010-10-12)Gene expression is a process that involves changes in chromatin organization and structure. Chromatin is thought to be organized in a structure consisting of looped domains, which are fixed at their bases to the nuclear matrix ...
-
Leboeuf, Brigitte L. (2010-07-14)The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...
-
Smith, Stephanie (1997)Neuroblasts in the central nervous system of Drosophila have been increasingly utilized as a model for stem-cell study due to their clearly defined asymmetric division pattern and ease of genetic, cellular, and molecular ...
-
Pinder, Tiffany (2013-12-09)Metallodithiolate ligands play an important role in providing the appropriate electronic environment for the catalytic function of various metalloenzymes; acetyl coA synthase serves as paradigm. Using tetradentate N_(2)S_(2) ...

Lindner, Jonathan R; Hillman, Paul R; Barrett, Andrea L; Jackson, Megan C; Perry, Trinity L; Park, Youngji; Datta, Sumana (BMC Developmental Biology, 2007)
-
Acevedo, Summer Fontaine (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)It has been proposed that the various 14-3-3 isotypes and isoforms present in all eukaryotes are largely functionally equivalent. However, this is not consistent with the conservation of multiple isoforms and isotypes, ...
-
Batta, Erin ElizabethA major issue faced by many college students is food insecurity. Students who lack quality food often have lower grades and poorer mental health than those who have access to the food they need. The First Year Eats (FYE) ...
-
Barrett, Andrea Lynn (2009-05-15)The adult Drosophila central nervous system is produced by two phases of neurogenesis: the first phase occurs during embryonic development where the larval brain is formed and the second occurs during larval development ...
-
Millimaki, Bonny Butler (2010-10-12)The sensory cells of the inner ear, hair cells, provide vertebrates with the ability to detect auditory stimuli and balance. In mammals, cochlear hair cells, those responsible for hearing, do not regenerate. Zebrafish ...
-
Kwak, Su Jin (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The vertebrate inner ear is a sensory organ responsible for auditory and vestibular function. Since its complex structure and cell types arise from a simply structured group of ectodermal cells, called the otic placode, ...
-
Amos, Joseph Edward (2001)The role of anachronism (ana) protein in stem cell division of Drosophila melanogaster was examined. Synthesis of identifiable ana protein was necessary. The identifying method exploited was that of antibody tagging using ...
-
Lee, Michael (2021-04-30)The First Year Eats Program (FYE) provides first-year university students among select dorms across Texas A&M University with the option to participate in learning about and taking with them nutritious and delicious recipes ...
-
Liu, Yilin (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The molecular interaction between plants and insects is dynamic and multifaceted. We are interested in understanding the molecular mechanism that insects utilize to overcome plant defense proteins, as well as discovering ...
-
Tran, Jasmine NgocFirst Year Eats (FYE) is a program at Texas A&M University developed to lessen food insecurity and its impact on college campuses. In its three years of development, students in the program have been provided with various ...
-
Blank, Heidi M. (2010-07-14)The longstanding view has been that metabolism allows for cell division to take place, but that metabolic processes do not actively promote cell division. I have recently challenged this notion by identifying a unique ...
-
Ramel, Marie-Christine (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In vertebrate embryonic development, correct specification of tissue fates along the dorsoventral (D/V) axis is known to require the secreted signaling ligand Wnt8. Wnt8 signaling promotes ventral fates and antagonizes the ...
-
Phillips, Bryan T. (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Vertebrates have evolved a unique way to sense their environment: placodallyderived sense organs. These sensory structures emerge from a crescent-shaped domain, the preplacodal domain, which surrounds the anterior neural ...
-
Neef, Daniel Wilhelm (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)To ensure a continuous supply of phosphate, living organisms have devised complex mechanisms to regulate the uptake and subsequent utilization of this essential nutrient. An important aspect of phosphate metabolism is the ...
