Max Olivier and Luke Howard, School of Music A few years ago, I happened upon a little-known recording of the cello concerto of 20th-century Turkish composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun (1907-1991), and I immediately knew that I had discovered a gem. From the opening bars, Saygun drew me into his unique soundworld and captured my attention. […]

Cancerous Male and Female Gene Expression
Clarissa Farmer and E. Shannon Tass, Statistics Genetic diagnosing is becoming more popular, as well as more and more accurate. However, many genetic diseases have complex genetic effects and are still not fully understood. Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR; also known as familial or hereditary amyloidosis) is a terminal genetic disease. It is caused by unstable transthyretin […]
The Effect of Deep Tissue Heating On Skeletal Muscle PGC1 a Protein Expression During Muscle Atrophy
Kaitlin Abbott, Dr. Allen Parcell, Exercise Sciences Introduction Through this project, we aimed to determine if repeated heat stress is a viable treatment to reduce or slow muscle atrophy in human muscle subjected to disuse. Specifically, I investigated how repeated heat stress affects the expression of PGC1-a, a gene that is an upstream regulator of mitochondrial […]
The Effect of the Overexpression of IRF% in B-Cells on Inflammatory and Co-Stimulatory Activity

METH Causes Expression of 8-OHG in the Addiction Pathway and Leads to Increased S-Glutathionylation of the Vesicular Monoamine Transportor Via the Sigma Receptor
Taylor Hyde and Scott Steffensen, Department of Psychology Introduction Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly addictive drug of abuse and which results in serious financial, societal, and individual consequences in the United States. In 2005, METH abuse costs the country billions dollars each year. Societal and individual costs as a result of METH use are also […]
β-cell Adaptation to Decreased Nr4a Expression in Conditions of Elevated Palmitate Concentrations (Hyperlipidemia)
Daniel Lathen and Jeffery Tessem, Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science Introduction Diabetes’ prevalence is increasing at an alarming rate. Normally, insulin-secreting β-cells in the pancreas regulate proper glucose absorption and storage. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are characterized by decreased functional β-cell mass and insulin production and increased circulating glucose and […]
Effect of High Expression of IRF5 on B Cell Activation After Antigen Stimulation
Eberting, KalareLyn Effect of High Expression of IRF5 on B Cell Activation After Antigen Stimulation Faculty Mentor: Brian Poole, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction While autoimmune diseases are very prevalent in the United States, little is understood about the cause of autoimmunity, making it difficult to take preventative measures and develop treatments. Previous studies have […]
Alzheimer’s Risk Genes and Pathways of Expression
Jensen, Samantha Alzheimer’s Risk Genes and Pathways of Expression Faculty Mentor: John Kauwe, Biology Although Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been the subject of research for nearly 100 years, these decades of research have not led to a unified understanding of the mechanisms behind the disease pathology1 ,2. Recent improvements in whole genome sequencing have made […]
Expression Changes of Dopamine Type 2 Receptor on the Surface of Human Monocytes and Lymphocytes After Exposure to Dopamine In Vitro.
Garcia, Brandon Thomas Expression Changes of Dopamine Type 2 Receptor on the Surface of Human Monocytes and Lymphocytes After Exposure to Dopamine In Vitro. Faculty Mentor: Sandra Hope, PhD and Scott Steffensen, PhD, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a role in several functions […]
Is HDAC1 mediated β-cell proliferation dependent on decreased p15 expression?
Hobson, Amanda Is HDAC1 mediated β-cell proliferation dependent on decreased p15 expression? Faculty Mentor: Jeffrey Tessem, Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science Introduction The body maintains normoglycemia through pancreatic β-cells which sense elevation in circulating glucose levels and secrete insulin to maintain the correct blood glucose concentration. A decrease in functional pancreatic β-cell mass leads to […]
