THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CEF-5 AND SNK
Donna Melinda Earl Ashton and Dr. William S. Bradshaw, Zoology The malignant transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) following infection with the Rous sarcoma virus is mediated through the oncogene v-src. One of the first responses of infected cells is the transcriptional activation of a set of immediate-early genes. Among these are CEF-5 (homologue of […]
ODOCOILEUS HEMIONUS MORTALITY PROFILES AND THE CULTURAL PREDATORY ADAPTATIONS AT ASPEN SHELTER, UTAH
James T. Anderson and Dr. Joel C. Janetskik, Anthropology Mortality profiles (ages at death) constructed from the faunal analysis of archaeological sites offer unique insights into specific cultural predatory patterns and lifeways of the sites former inhabitants.

Angiotensin II-Mediated Switching of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone to Arginine Vasopressin in the Paraventricular Nucleus Under Chronic Stress Conditions
Jason T. Rich and Dr. James D. Porter, Zoology The purpose of my study was to quantify the effects of angiotensin II on young rats under extreme stress. We hypothesized that we would observe an angiotensin II-mediated switch in brain hormonal expression from corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to arginine vasopressin (AVP).

The Locating of Col11a2 Cell-Specific Enhancers
Jennifer L. Potter and Dr. Laura C. Bridgewater, Zoology The human skeletal structure is formed first by cartilage which later ossifies to bone.
