Temme, Jack | A closer look at aberrant muscle function | When a skeletal muscle is inhibited from operating at its full function it is called an aberrant muscle. Such inhibition tends to occur after joint trauma in order to protect the injured area from further aggravation. However, inhibition can linger after the injury is healed, which negatively impact... | 2021 | |

Dhiman, Gareema | A novel organelle of the synapse | During neurotransmission, neurons constantly fuse and recycle synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane. Like other organelles, synaptic vesicles and proteins must be removed when damaged or overused. Build-up of damaged proteins may underlie neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's Disease... | 2023 | |

Mallender, Zachary | Assay of the dreem device on sleep metrics and an exploration of sleep staging in chronic short sleepers during time in bed extension | Despite clear and plentiful research that sleeping less than seven hours per night has a wide array of health consequences, a large portion of American adults report sleeping less than seven hours per night and thus receive chronic insufficient sleep. Many studies exploring the consequences of insuf... | 2022 | |

Garzella, Erin | Coinfection of Malaria and gammaherpesvirus in B cells and macrophages | Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year. 67% of those deaths are children under five and pregnant women. Some children get malaria, but they do not die. The reasons for this are not completely understood. Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, and in sub-Saharan Africa Plasmodium falciparum ... | 2023 | |

Do, Tiffany | Comparative transcriptomic assay of phellinus tremulae isolates to identify the genetic responses of environmental stress | Saprotrophic 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 | |

Tennant, Karrin | Competitive nighttime stomatal response of Populus Trichocarpa during drought | Stomata are critical valves responsible for gas exchange on the leaf level. They control rates of transpiration and as such play a crucial role in terrestrial water cycling. When stomata open, water molecules in the intracellular leaf space are subject to evaporation, especially in dry conditions. T... | 2021 | |

Streeter, Forest | Deficiency in regulator of G-Protein signaling, LOCO, protects D. Melanogaster from effects of a high Salt diet | Gerontology and studies of aging have been grappling with the effects of a westernized diet for decades now. Some of these effects include diseases related to overconsumption such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and many more. These pathologies are now contributor... | 2021 | |
