1 | Khuu, Scott | Identifying Retinoic Acid Dependent Mechanisms of Neural Crest Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition | Cancer metastasis is one of the distinguishing traits that make the disease difficult to treat. The steps of tumor invasion are similar to a process called epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Retinoic acid (RA) is shown to inhibit EMT and may cause an increased transcription of the gene, ski... | 2017 | ||
2 | Green, Austin | Measuring occupancy and occurrence of medium and large mammals in Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area using motion-activated camera traps | With expanding urbanization and development, human encroachment on wilderness areas continues to increase. In Utah, much of the once pristine and untouched mountain ecosystems of the Wasatch Front have been developed for recreation and other human use, and this increasing human-wildlife interaction... | Red Butte Canyon (Salt Lake County, Utah); Wilderness area monitoring - United States; Wildlife conservation - Utah | ||
3 | Lee, Zachary | Using Drosophila to investigate p53 life-or-death decisions | The p53 tumor suppressor is a central regulator of cellular responses to DNA damage. When DNA damage cannot be repaired most cells undergo p53-dependent cell death. Thisp55-mediated apoptosis is important to eliminate cells with damaged genomes and provides an important block to the development of c... | Biology | 2013-05 | |
4 | Hales, Laurel | Physics show and tell and elementary science education | It is a well-known fact that American children are performing below their peers in international science and mathematics examinations, leading to what is commonly called the STEM education crisis. This project was created in an attempt to resolve this crisis by improving elementary school science ed... | Science - Study and teaching (Elementary) - United States | 2014-05 |
