Title: A STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF NEMATOSTELLA VECTENSIS MAJOR INTRINSIC PROTEINS
Author: Taylor, Jonathon
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Cytology, Evolutionary developmental biology
Description: There is currently a major gap in understanding the physiological processes of tissue grade animals from early diverging phyla, particularly within the context of the molecular mechanisms in response to osmotic variation. A key protein family esse...

Title: ASSESSING COMPARATIVE FUNCTIONS FOR THE BZIP TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR NFE2 IN NEMATOSTELLA VECTENSIS
Author: Clegg, Devin
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: The bZIP gene superfamily is a family of transcription factors that have gone through multiple duplication events within bilaterians, specifically in vertebrates. This has led to multiple paralogs in each bZIP family while early diverging phyla ha...

Title: CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) T CELL IMMUNOTHERAPY FOR MUCIN 1 (MUC1)-POSITIVE PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA
Author: Yazdanifar, Mahboubeh
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: Chimeric antigen receptor engineered (CAR) T cells have shown remarkable success in the treatment of hematologic cancers. However, this efficacy has yet to translate to treatment in solid tumors. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a fatal m...

Title: Development of Silica Based Nanoparticles for Multimodal Therapeutic Delivery
Author: Vadarevu, Hemapriyadarshini
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience
Description: Chronic diseases like cancer are characterized by complex interactions between multiple pathways leading to treatment resistance and invasiveness. Repeated cycles of cytotoxic monotherapies are susceptible to drug resistance induced by the upregul...

Title: Dissecting functional differences in Hsp70 isoforms in nematostella vectensis
Author: Waller, Shawn
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology
Description: Heat shock protein 70s (Hsp70s) are a highly conserved class of molecular chaperones that are involved in cellular processes in all organisms such as stress response, homeostatic maintenance, and cell cycle progression. The organism Nematostella v...

Title: Interaction between hydrogen sulfide and endothelin-1 in hepatic perfusion and mitochondrial dynamics in endotoxemia
Author: Pennington, Samantha
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Physiology, Cytology
Description: A mismatch between oxygen supply and metabolic tissue demand leads to the development of hypoxia, which contributes to hepatic dysfunction and liver injury during sepsis. Recent evidence shows that hepatic H2S levels are increased during sepsis an...

Title: Study of Enzymes Required for the Synthesis of the Enterobacterial Common Antigen in Vitro
Author: Oliverio, Cassidy
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: In recent years, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has highlighted many bacteria as being either serious or urgent threats in terms of antibiotic resistance such as Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella, and Shigella. These bacteria are all members o...

Title: Synthetic Approaches to Novel (Oxa)cages From a Polycyclic Hydrocarbon Framework
Author: Faussett, Matthew
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Organic
Description: Organic cage chemistry, an incredibly diverse sect of organic synthesis, has alwaysintrigued chemists to push the limits of synthetic knowledge, to explore novel structural elements, and to understand unique reactivity patterns. Organic cage compo...

Title: Understanding Chaperone interactions in disease
Author: Nitika
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Cytology
Description: The correct folding of proteins after synthesis and stress-promoted denaturation is critical for cell viability in all organisms. The Hsp70 molecular chaperone is a key player in proteostasis, deciding which proteins are foldable and which are too...
