The Role of Nuclear Bmp2 (nBmp2) in Skeletal Muscle
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to characterize the molecular pathway by which nBmp2 disrupts Ca2+ handling in skeletal muscle of nBmp2 mutant mice. Previously, we had worked with Dr. Chad Hancock’s lab to measure muscle function in nBmp2 mutant mice, and those results showed a […]
Student Electrochemical Research
Dr. Dean Wheeler, Department of Chemical Engineering Abstract of Work The work allowed additional students to join in electrochemical engineering research here at BYU. The mentored students worked on one of several possible projects with the broad theme of understanding and mitigating internal resistances in fuel cells and lithium batteries. Additional work was done on […]
