Bender, Austin | The role of ornithine, polyamines, and amino acid accumulation in the growth of melanoma | A frequent adaptation in the development of melanoma is the downregulation of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1), the rate limiting enzyme in the production of the amino acid arginine from citrulline and aspartate. It is known that ASS1 is required for cells to proliferate in the absence of argin... | 2024 | |

Wainer, Tobin | Star clusters in the triangulum galaxy: star cluster catalog and mass function fitting | We construct a catalog of star clusters in the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). The catalog is the result of the Local Group Cluster Search (LGCS) citizen science project through Zooniverse, where users classify images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We base our star cluster catalog on the fraction o... | 2021 | |

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 | |

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 | |
