Karen Merrell and Dr. Steven W. Graves, Chemistry and Biochemistry Na,K-ATPase is a multi-subunit protein that uses ATP to pump Na+ ions out of the cell and K+ ions into the cell. Multiple isoforms of each subunit of Na,K-ATPase have been identified, but the á subunit of Na,K-ATPase plays the most important functional role and […]

SUMMARY OF CREATIVE RESEARCH GRANT RESULTS AND ARTISTIC STATEMENT OF “DANCE: EXPRESSIONS OF LIFE”
Natalie Rhodes Wilson and Professor Pat Debenham, Dance Over the course of this year my creative project entitled, “Dance: Expressions of Life,” has evolved from portraying a tragic accident in my life to encompassing a lifetime of internal growth that includes more than the accident itself. The concluding stages of the work are still in […]
Loss of Scribble Tumor Suppressor in Human Cancers: Atypical hScrib Expression and Localization in Malignant Breast Cancer
Daniel G. Fuja and Dr. Kim L. O’Neill, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Drosophila Melanogaster has been used for years in basic developmental and genetic research, because of its short life cycle, low cost, and ease of handling. One beneficial consequence of this extensive research is an increased knowledge of human cancer progression. Multiple homologues have […]
ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSIONS OF FAITH
Sarah Osmond and Professors Peggy Honey & Mark Hamilton, Visual Arts The temple is a widely recognized symbol of the LDS faith; however, more accessible to members and non-members around the world, in humble or elaborate form, is the basis of our weekly worship, the chapel. This research, completed as my senior project in Interior […]
Symbolism as a Means of Expression
Steven Carter and Professor Garold Barton, Fine Art My primary purpose in pursuing this research project has been to enhance my ability to communicate specific ideas through my artwork. It seems rather evident that the contemporary art scene has become increasingly devoid of morals. Critics’ reactions to the bizarre and unwholesome (which seems to be the […]
Classification of Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Rat Hippocampal CA1 Interneuron Subpopulations Defined by Neuropeptide Y, Somatostatin, and Calcium-binding Proteins mRNA Expression
Matt Peterson and Dr. Sterling Sudweeks, Physiology and Developmental Biology Introduction Hippocampal interneurons are a particularly diverse population of cells. Classifying these interneurons has historically been difficult using traditional schemes such as anatomical morphology, action potential spiking pattern, and receptor pharmacology. More recently however, classification of interneurons by examining expression of neuropeptide Y, somatostatin, and […]
Expression: Dancing with the Heart
Jana Burleson Taylor and Professor Shani Robison, Dance Department Experience in choreography is a vital part of the education of a dance major, particularly one like myself who hopes to pursue a career in dance teaching. Unfortunately, as students, the opportunity to create choreography which is exhitibited in an audience-attended performance can be rare, perhaps only […]
Structure and Properties of Dynamical Structure Functions Reconstruction of Genetic Networks Using Gene Silencing and Overexpression Methods
Russell Howes and Dr. Sean Warnick, Computer Science Department Network structure–the presence and absence of ‘connections’ among different variables in a dynamical system–is important in the identification and control of complex systems. Discovering structure from data can be difficult, and many current identification methods either concern themselves only with dynamic behavior (response of the system […]
Gene Expression of Down-regulated Estrogen Receptor Target Genes in Human Breast Cancer Cells following Drug Rreatment
Ben Newman and Dr. Chin-Yo Lin, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer found in women and the majority of such cancers are estrogen receptor (ER) positive. This means the cancer is dependent on estrogen for growth. In such cancers, ER acts as a ligand-dependent transcription factor, changing […]
Identifying the Mechanisms of Estrogen Receptors in Human Breast Cancer Cells through Study of Direct Target Gene Expression
Megan Lundell and Dr. Chin-Yo Lin, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Estrogens, including estrodial (E2), are known to play a significant role in a number of developmental and physiological processes including the genesis and progression of breast cancer. The action of estrogens is mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs), which function as ligand-dependent transcription factors. Upon ligand […]
