Paul Reynolds, Physiology and Developmental Biology Academic Objectives Met and Results Observed Funding available through this MEG award has provided an opportunity for me to meet many academic objectives I’ve determined to be important in the early stages of my faculty appointment at BYU. First of all, I have been able to move my on […]

Role of Epstein-Barr Virus Induced Gene II (EBI2) in Epstein-Barr Virus Infection and B-cell Chemotaxis
Brian Poole, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met: The academic objectives of this proposal were met. Using the funding provided by the MEG, we generated data that was used to publish three peer-reviewed journal articles: Daniel N. Clark, Jared P. Lambert, Rodney E. Till, Lissenya […]
The role of LKB1 and AMPK in the adaptive response to iron deficiency in skeletal muscle
Chad Hancock, Nutrition, Dietetics & Food Science Evaluation of progress on research objectives The purpose of the research proposed in this MEG grant was to examine the relationship between the role of AMPK and LKB1 on the adaptations that occur in response to iron deficiency. We made significant progress for several aspects of the proposal. […]
Elucidating a Precise Role for the Small Heat Shock Proteins CryAB and HspB2 in Cardiac Robustness
Julianne H Grose, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Specific Aim 1: Perform yeast two-hybrid screens on wild type CryAB, R120G CryAB, and HspB2 in order to create a protein-protein interaction network and identify potential substrates. Achievements: Large-scale yeast-two hybrid screens were performed on wild […]
The role of Wnt signaling in normal muscle development and disease
Jeffery Barrow, Physiology and Developmental Biology My laboratory studies the role of Wnt signaling in regulating important events during embryogenesis. In order to better understand the function of this pathway, we study mouse mutants that lack the Porcupine (Porcn) gene which encodes a protein that is required for the secretion of all Wnt molecules. Prior […]
Role of microbial fermentation on degradation of folic acid in micronutrient fortified corn masa prior to baking
Faculty PI: Michael L. Dunn (NDFS) Co-PI: Frost M. Steele (NDFS) Proposal Approved: Fall 2010 Work Completed: January 2013 Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met This was an intensive project, which turned out to be a great opportunity for our students. We had one graduate student and four to […]
Characterizing the Role of HSPB2
Whitney Hoopes and Dr. Julianne Grose, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology HSPB2 is one of ten known small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSP) that share a conserved structural element called the alpha-crystallin domain. Extreme heat or cold, oxidative & reductive stress, and heavy metal exposure can induce the expression of these sHSP. HSPB2 is located […]
Museums of Memory: Daughters of Utah Pioneer Museums and Their Continued Role in Western Society
Britten Harmon and Dr. Paul Stavast, Anthropology Sociocultural Since 1901, the International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers have endeavored to keep the history and achievements of their pioneer ancestors alive. Part of their mission is to collect artifacts, histories, manuscripts and other important data relative to the Utah pioneers and their surrounding communities, and to […]
The Role of Timing of Dietary Selenium and Isoflavone Supplementation in the Reduction of Prostate Cancer Risk Factors in TRAMP Mice
Ji Su Park and Dr. Merrill Christensen, Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science Introduction Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, with a predicted 29,720 deaths in 2013. (1) Previous studies have shown that both selenium (Se) and soy isoflavones reduce risk […]
The Role of TRPV1 in Hippocampal Plasticity
Andrew Wallmann and Dr. Jeff Edwards, Physiology and Developmental Biology Until recently, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind memory has been extremely limited. However, recent studies indicate that memory formation is associated with two forms of neuronal plasticity known as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) (Bailey & Kandel, 2008). These are physiological […]
