Determining the Mechanisms by Which Membrane Targeted Dietary Bioactives Reduce Oncogenic KRas Driven Nutrient Scavenging
(2015-10-02)
Approximately 30 to 50% of colorectal cancers contain KRas mutations, which confer resistance to standard therapy and have therefore been termed “undruggable.” Since no curative treatments for KRas driven colon cancer are ...
The Role of Noxious Stimulation in Progressive Hemorrhagic Necrosis in the Contused Spinal Cord
(2015-11-11)
Traumatic spinal cord injuries are often accompanied by secondary injuries that complicate the recovery process. Our lab has shown that nociceptive stimulation engages pain fibers and negatively impacts recovery following ...
Evaluating Potential Effects of Antarctic Ice-Shelf Retreat on Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) Populations: A Simulation Model of Interactions Among Sea Ice, Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba), and Blue Whales
(2017-04-24)
In the Antarctic, blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) feed primarily on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), which feed primarily on under-ice algae. The retreat of the Antarctic ice shelf may pose potentially serious ...
Computational Insights Into Serine and DHMA Binding to the Tsr Chemoreceptor of Escherichia Coli
(2015-09-25)
3,4-Dihydroxymandelic Acid (DHMA) has been reported to attract Escherichia coli by binding to the serine-binding sites of the bacteria’s Tsr chemoreceptor. Signaling via the Tsr chemoreceptor may promote the growth and ...
Solitude: A Human Condition
(2018-04-24)
Solitude is a condition that affects everyone. Even more than this, the vocabulary we use to describe solitude varies from loneliness to isolation to alienation, but in its essence, solitude refers to the different physical, ...
The Impact of CeO2 Engineered Nanomaterials on the Soil-Water Holding Properties: A Pedostructure Characterization Approach
(2018-04-19)
With the increase in the demand for food and clean water, non-conventional water reuse has taken a lot of attention recently. However, the impact of the reused water is still being researched. A widely used variety of ...
Characterization of Automatically Reticulated Shape Memory Polymer Foams
(2013-09-28)
Polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been shown to be biocompatible within porcine models and show potential to treat intracranial saccular aneurysms in patients, and use in other medical applications. After ...
Incorporating Electrospun Fibers Into Ultra-Strong Hydrogels
(2018-04-26)
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that exhibit high biocompatibility due to their high water content. In applications such as musculoskeletal repair, their main limiting factor is their relatively low ...
What Do You Meme: A Look at Historical and Literary Imitative Humor
(2020-04-16)
Humor during varying periods of time are seen simply as reflections of the culture they were created in. But it is often overlooked that there is a tradition of that same humor recurring throughout history and across ...
Zen Routing
(2017-04-27)
Driving induced stress is a problem inherent to contemporary living in urban areas. Traffic congestion, route unpredictability, and other factors cause undue stress to commuters daily. This project’s purpose is to alleviate ...
