Neofunctionalization of Dual-Targeted Plant Organelle DNA Replication Proteins

March 30, 2016 by admin

Background and Significance Neofunctionalization is the process by which genes gain a new or modified function as a result of gene duplication and modification of one or more of the new genes. This exciting area of research helps explain the diversification of protein functions in cells. The number of documented examples has increased in recent […]

Structural variations in articular cartilage associated with osteoarthritis.

March 29, 2016 by admin

Professor David Kooyman Thank you for this MEG award. It led to important research performed primarily by undergraduate students in my laboratory. Our work resulted in some molecular pathways leading to OA that can be exploited by pharmacologic intervention. We exceeded our stated goals for the project. Work from this MEG has already resulted in […]
