Sean Llewellyn and Dr. Gregory F. Burton, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Importance of Project HIV is known to survive on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) for many months and is believed to contribute to persisting HIV infection. FDCs protect HIV from degradation, thereby prolonging the infectivity of the virus. Moreover, when virus is trapped on […]

The Effects Of Interleukin-1a, Interleukin-6 And Tumor Necrosis Factor- a On The Growth Of Human H295r Cells
Tara Leigh Nelson and Dr. Allan M. Judd, Zoology Cytokines are extracellular signaling proteins or peptides that act as local mediators in cell-cell communication. They regulate several endocrine systems and function in the immune process. These agents mediate cellular proliferation within endocrine tissues, regulate hormone secretion, and control aspects of inflammation (1). Interleukin-1a (IL- 1a), […]
CREATION OF MUTATIONS OF THE HUMAN CDC34 GENE: A REGULATOR OF THE CELL DIVISION CYCLE
Craig Rogers, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Abstract In the yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevlslae, the gene CDC34 encodes for a ubiquitln ligase necessary for the transition from GI to the S phase of the cell division cycle. CDC34 is one of several cell division cycle (CDC) genes that act as checkpoints, or regulators, of the […]
MULTIPLE SCATTERING EVENTS IN HUMAN BLOOD SOLUTIONS
Xunhai Xu, Department of Chemical Engineering Introduction Recently, modem medical technology has enabled surgeons and other medical scientists to perform certain organ transplantation within human beings successfully. However, thromboembolization, the formation of thromboemboli (usually of irregular shapes with sizes approximately 10,000 times bigger than that of red blood cell), is likely to occur with such […]
Effects of Prematurity on the Presence of Weibel-palade Bodies in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells in Situ
Niloufar Tabatabeai and Dr. John S. Gardner, Botany & Range Science Newbom, premature infants have greater susceptibility to infection compared to older newborn infants. Although the reason for greater susceptibility to bacterial infection in premature infants is unknown, there are many reports that focus on neutrophils as the defective cell type in the immature neonatal […]
EFFECTS OF HANDEDNESS AND GENDER ON THE SURFACE AREA OF THE HUMAN CORPUS CALLOSUM: A PRELIMINARY STUDY USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
James B. Pinkston, Department of Psychology Introduction Several studies have found differences in the human corpus callosum across gender and handedness (Aboitiz, Scheibel, Fisher, & Zaidel, 1992; Burke & Yeo, 1994; Cowell, eta!., 1993; de Lacoste-Utamsing & Holloway, 1982; Denenberg, eta!., 1991; Habib, eta!., 1991; Johnson & Bigler, eta!., 1994; Johnson & Farnworth, eta!., 1994; […]
A Novel Human Angiotensin Ii Type 1 Receptor Isoform Elicits an Exaggerated Angiotensin Ii-induced Response
Terry S. Elton and Dr. James W. Ogilvie Jr., Biochemistry and Chemistry Hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure) is a significant health problem affecting more than 15% of the population contributing to the increased incidence of heart failure, kidney failure and stroke. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in salt and water homeostasis and […]
A Search for an Internal Ribosomal Entry Site in the Human Angiotensin 2, Type 1 Receptor
Joseph A. Garcia and Dr. Terry S. Elton, Chemistry and Biochemistry The study of human genetics has recently exploded into numerous fields and, as a result, our knowledge of genetics and gene related illnesses is growing exponentially. Human DNA undergoes three main levels of control. The first is replication where the genome is reproduced in […]
Human-Robot Interface Design
Jacob W. Crandall and Dr. Michael A. Goodrich, Computer Science Over the last few years, there have been vast advancements in robot technology. These advancements have made robots more powerful. However, because of robot limitations, many interesting tasks will probably include humans and robots cooperating to achieve a shared goal. Lessons from process automation indicate […]
Comparative Resistance of Human Papilloma Virus to Inactivation by Selected Chemical Disinfectants
Elisabeth Tillman and Dr. Richard A. Robison, Microbiology Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in humans as well as the second most common cause of cancer death in women [3]. In developing countries, cervical cancer is actually the most common female disease, constituting 30% of female cancers [1]. In the United States, cervical […]
