Zachary Smith and Dr. Quin Monson, Political Science From Abraham Lincoln to members of the modern Tea Party, politicians have frequently quoted the Founders in an attempt to build support for a proposed idea. This seems to mostly occur between conservative politicians and their constituents. Indeed, conservatives appear to have a strong connection with the […]

Characterization of the Role of a DNA-Binding Protein on Regulation of DNA Replication in Plant Organelles
Cynthia Perry and Dr. Brent Nielsen, MMBio DNA replication is essential to all life on earth. Not only does replication occur in the nucleus, it also happens in organelles of the cell: the mitochondria and chloroplasts. In higher plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, the genomes in mitochondria encode proteins which are responsible for DNA replication. […]
Regulation of P450scc Expression: AMPK and Cortisol Release
Kimberly Dalton and Dr. Allan Judd, Physiology and Developmental Biology The amount of cortisol within the human body must remain at just the right level to adequately mediate the physiological stress response. With elevated cortisol levels, the immune system is suppressed, and the organism becomes vulnerable to infection. With reduced cortisol levels, the immune system […]
Up-regulation of Receptors for Advanced Glycation End-Products (RAGE) in the Lung Results in Significant Tissue Loss and Neonatal Lethality
Jeff Stogsdill and Dr. Paul Reynolds, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is becoming an increasingly popular molecule of study after having been initially characterized in relation to a number of diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s and atherosclerosis among others. It has recently been noted that RAGE is […]
Molecular Characterization of Pathways involved in PAS Kinase Regulation and Function
Julianne H. Grose Evaluation of academic objectives The academic objectives of this MEG were to provide novel findings in the field of metabolic regulation while training both graduate and undergraduate students. We were able to meet these objectives as evidenced by one published scientific article, one article accepted upon minor revision, and one in preparation. […]
Random Mutagenesis in Phob: a Proposed Study of The Effects of Mutations in Phosphate Regulation
Chad C. Lowe and Dr. William R. McCleary, Microbiology Within the prokaryotic cell, the intake of essential nutrients is continuously regulated by intracellular mechanisms. When fundamental nutrients become scarce, cellular stress responses are activated to enable the cell to survive in a harsh environment. Recent studies have shown a two-component regulatory mechanism which enhances Escherichia […]
Cultural Regulation: The Disparity Between CRTC Regulation And Public Demand In Quebec
Chantelle Komm and Dr. Harrison Powley, Music As proposed, I spent this summer in Quebec listening to the radio and making comparisons between the amount of French I heard on the radio, the amount of French mandated by the CRTC, and the amount of French in non-regulated spheres. The two areas I looked at for […]
Regulation of the Transcription Factor CREB in Skeletal Muscle after Exercise
David M Thomson, Physiology and Developmental Biology Evaluation of mentoring environment My laboratory is running quite smoothly now. The students in the laboratory are proficient in performing experiments, obtaining data and interpreting it. My first undergraduate students have recently graduated, and I now have a nice array of experienced and newer inexperienced students, so the […]
G Protein Regulation of Chaperonins Through Phosducin-Like Protein
Tiffany L. Sabin and Dr. Barry Willardson, Chemistry and Biochemistry G proteins participate in a myriad of cell signaling processes by shuttling information between cell surface receptors and intracellular effectors(1). The importance of G protein signaling is evidenced by the fact that ~5% of human genes encode G protein-coupled receptors, G protein subunits of effectors. […]
Transcription Upregulation of HIV by FDC
Nathan R. York and Dr. Gregory F. Burton, Microbiology The search to understand Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the progression of the disease that it causes, AIDS, has led scientists to delve further and further into the intricacies of viral mechanics. Although not considered living organisms by many scientists, these entities manage to find ways […]
