1 Amaechi, AyanaUnderstanding sex differences in early predictors of pathological aggression with a mouse modelAntisocial behavior (ASB) is characterized by aggression, violence, drug use, thrillseeking behavior, and delinquent behavior. While childhood and adolescent maltreatment contribute to the ontogeny of this condition, converging evidence suggests that genetic factors play an equally important role. T...MAOA; pathological aggression; sex differences; stress; early development; animal models2021
2 Chong, AlishaEffects of increasing sleep duration on C-reactive protein, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure in adults with habitual short sleepEffective literature instruction is an essential part of building secondary students' analytical skills, cultural capital, empathy, and sense of belonging in school. In this paper, I hypothesize that English language learners may not receive the same opportunities as their English-proficient peers t...translanguaging; literary fluency; emergent bilinguals; language arts; English language learners; secondary education2023
3 Luong, KatieAn examination of the relationship between positive covid-19 infection and vaccine hesitancy within the Utah recover study populationVaccine hesitancy is defined by the World Health Organization as a "delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccination services," and is affected by a wide range of factors. Some of these factors identified in the literature include perceived safety and importance of vacc...2023
4 Chong, AlishaEffects of increasing sleep duration on C-Reactive protein, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure in adults with habitual short sleepShort sleep, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes are all highly prevalent health issues in modern society. Previous findings demonstrate that obtaining short sleep is linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. However, the mechanisms un...2023
5 Lindley, ClaraPre-surgery inflammatory and angiogenesis biomarkers as predictors of 12-month cancer-related distress: results from the colocare studyBackground Patients with colorectal cancer commonly suffer from complex psychological distress. Elevated distress may be linked to systemic biomarkers. We investigated associations of biomarkers of inflammation and angiogenesis with cancer-related distress (CTXD) score. Methods N = 315 patients (sta...2023
6 Ganesh, KajalBeyond the neural circuits: examining women's metal health in India alongside the complex manifestation of OCD and anxiety in miceMental health literacy (MHL) is a critical concept that refers to the recognition, mitigation, and prevention of mental health disorders. Increased MHL is achievable through funding research on the brain and mental health disorders, aiming to normalize patient struggles, provide clear explanations f...2024
7 Do, TiffanyComparative transcriptomic assay of phellinus tremulae isolates to identify the genetic responses of environmental stressSaprotrophic fungi are a diverse ecological group that can breakdown organic matter to obtain carbon. Due to their metabolic processes, they play an essential role in nutrient cycling within the microbial soil community. Despite the importance of saprotrophic fungi, little is known about their respo...2023
8 Olivia HansonSpinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain & the gut microbiome: a reviewMost spinal cord injuries (SCI) result in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain (SCINP). SCI-NP is a major healthcare concern given the extensive burden it places on both patients and the healthcare system. This, coupled with the lack of effective and available treatments for those suffering f...2022
9 Enriquez, Trisha Pauline DiazSubstrate use within the drosophila melanogaster species subgroupEffective sensory perception is a vital aspect of survival for living organisms such as Drosophila. More specifically, olfaction, or the sense of smell, is essential because the detection of odors allows it to find potential food, danger, or specifically, where to lay eggs. This review will examine ...2021
10 Andersen, KaraCervical dorsal root ganglion imaging for studying neuronal nocicieptive ciruit changes in migranine modelsMigraine neuroscience is a field in its infancy, with migraine being a remarkably common yet poorly understood sensory circuit disorder. It is characterized by attacks of unilateral, throbbing craniofacial pain, with sensitivity to movement, visual, auditory, and other afferent inputs. Migraines can...2022
11 Reimers, NoelleExploring the role of lipied metabolism in hepatocellular carcinomaHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival rates and limited treatment options whose prevalence is expected to increase up to 137% by 2030. Existing therapies outside of liver resection or transplantation have poor efficacy, and few new treatment options have been deve...2021
12 Scamfer, SierraStudying pancreatic acinar cell differentiation through transcription factor reprogrammingPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal human cancer that originates from acinar cells in the pancreas. Ptf1a is a transcription factor that plays an important role in the development of the pancreas and in the differentiation and maintenance of acinar cells. Ptf1a expression is lost dur...2021
