Uchida, Kimberly Akimi | Post-translational regulation of the tumor suppressor PDCD4 | Expression of the tumor suppressor Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) is correlated with better survival outcomes in several types of cancer. When PDCD4 is coexpressed with protein arginine methyltransferase 5, however, this trend does not hold true, suggesting that PDCD4 methylation is involved in the... | Tumor suppressor proteins - Regulation | 2013-12 |

Lietzke, Stephanie | Removal of endotoxins from recombinant antithrombin | Endotoxins (also known as lipopolysaccharides or ETs) are a pyrogenic byproduct of the breakdown of gram-negative bacterial cell-walls, such as E. coli. They cause fever and septic shock in humans, and are therefore highly regulated by the FDA and USP. ETs are a common contaminant in recombinant pr... | Endotoxins - Research; Antithrombins - Therapeutic use; Sheep as laboratory animals - Research; endotoxin removal; Angiogenesis | 2016-04 |

Marler, Tyler | The role of gangliar plexi in the treatment of atrial fibrillation | Introduction: Gangliar plexi (GP) are bundles of interconnected neurons found embedded in FPs (FPs) surrounding the atria of the heart. The function of these neurons is controversial but they may form a localized control system for the heart and play a role in the induction of atrial fibrillation (A... | Atrial fibrillation Treatment; Gangliar plexi | 2012-05 |

Freckleton, K. Beau | Sarrus-based passive mechanism for rotorcraft perchings: Structural design and mass optimization | Current quad-rotors provide excellent maneuverability and opportunity for data collection in large scale areas such as agriculture, but lack the capability to maintain flight for an extended period of time. This is primarily due to a lack of energy supply, requiring operators to replace the battery ... | Drone aircraft; Drone aircraft -- Control systems; Sarrus | 2014-12 |

Novy, Jenna | Selective and Localized Marking of Activated Dendritic Spines Using a Novel Genetic Construct, Slayr | The brain's ability to store memory is as remarkable as it is complex. The mechanism behind memory storage is still not fully understood and has become an essential question in the neuroscience field. Long-term memories are thought to form via the strengthening of specific connections between neuron... | 2020 | |

Anderson, Sheyne | Sinap types a run-time language for data-description | Sinap IDE is an editor for graph-based programming languages (as distinct from textbased). To facilitate versatility in Sinap IDE it was necessary to design a language (Sinap's Type System) to generically describe families of well-formed cyclic data structures. This language can be used to maintain ... | 2017 | |

Newton, James | Social behaviors in the developing Danio Rerio larva and adult Danionella | Larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) in most respects excel as an animal model in the study of neural networks, due to their small size and optical transparency. These traits permit optogenetic manipulation and live neuronal imaging of the entire brain, which when paired with behavioral analysis, have pot... | Zebrafish (Zebra danio) - behavior; Zebrafish - embryology; Zebrafish - physiology | 2016-04 |

Clark, Calli | Studying hypothetical electromagnetic earthquake precursors using a global finite-difference time-domain model | Electromagnetic (EM) precursors may be detectable by satellites and ground-based stations before large earthquakes strike and destroy entire cities. However, earthquakes are near impossible to predict as the physics of earthquake precursors is still poorly understood. This paper reports a global... | earthquake prediction - Research; Seismology - Research; Earthquake hazard analysis; Earthquake precursors; Electromagnetic signals; Ionospheric physics; Finite-difference time-domain model | 2016-04 |

Javdan, Shwan | Targeted HPMA copolymer-gemcitabine conjugates for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma | Each year in the United States, over 14,000 women die from ovarian cancer. Anthracyclines-a class of chemotherapeutics-have long been the primary treatment for this and many other cancers, yet they often leave patients with cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and a number of other adverse effects.
