Beseris, Ethan | Biological impact protection in human facial hair | Our study investigated selective mechanisms that influenced the evolution of facial hair in human males (Homo sapiens). Beards are often perceived as an indicator of masculinity and social dominance in men, suggesting that they may play a role in male contest competition. Some authors propose that t... | 2018 | |

Ellis, James H. | Refractory status epilepticus and chronic kidney disease in a large pedigree due to a variant in the mitochondrial encoded trna phenylalanine (MT-TF) gene | Mitochondrial disorders present with a wide spectrum of neurological manifestations. Clinical syndromes are described largely by phenotypic indicators. Epilepsy is a common but not universal feature. Myoclonus epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF) is a common clinical syndrome that presents with e... | 2018 | |

Guernsey, Michael | Mclr is not solely responsible for pigmentation variation among domestic pigeons | Feather pigmentation in the domesticated rock pigeon, Columba livia, is stunningly diverse. Plumage pigmentation in this, and other, columbid (pigeon and dove) species plays an important role in mate choice and thus is a driving factor in the process of sexual selection. To study the genetic basis o... | 2012 | |

Fackler, Anderson N. | Identification of Kin-20 and UNC-119 Knockout suppressors associated with neuronal development and maintenance in C. elegans | Neurons comprise the nervous system-the essential signaling and communication system for nearly all multicellular organisms. To coordinate cells across an entire organism, they must grow to be relatively long. Therefore, neurons extend axons from the cell body. Immature neurons extend growth cones a... | 2018 | |

Skedros, Gregory Athanasios | Structural and material changes in the sheep radius from newborn to adult: Functional adaptation versus developmental constraint | Bones that exhibit marked changes in structural and material characteristics during ontogeny are potentially useful for studying the mechanisms that produce functional adaptations. The diaphyseal region of the sheep radius was examined because it is relatively simply loaded in cranial-caudal bending... | Functional adaptations - Sheep; Developmental constraint - Sheep; Ontogeny | 2015-08 |

Auduong, Priscilla | Spinal muscular atrophy modeled in drosophila melanogaster | Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the most commonly inherited cause of death in children (Park, Kariya, & Monani, 2010 for review). This disease is characterized by a loss of motor neurons which leads to muscle degeneration, paralysis, and eventual death by respiratory failure (Monani, 2005 for revie... | Spinal muscular atrophy - Research; Drosophila melanogaster - Researcher | 2012-05 |
