Instinct Versus Learning in the Development of a Species-Specific Caterpillar-Ant Symbiosis
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Ants of the genus Iridomyrmex have symbiotic relationships with butterflies from the genus Jalmenus. In particular the ant I. anceps and butterfly J. evagoras have a symbiotic relationship that is well studied. Although ... -
A Novel Emx Gene in Pelromyzon marinus Offers Insight into the Timing and Consequences of Gene Duplication in the Chordate Lineage
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)As the most primitive extant vertebrates, lampreys occupy an important phylogenetic position in the study of evolution from non-vertebrate chordates to jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes). The Emx gene family is widespread ... -
The Effect of ATP on Neurotrophic Factors in Olfactory Epithelium of Neonate Mice
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Mammalian olfactory epithelium (OE) has the unique ability to remain functional even after extensive and repetitive damage by continually replacing damaged cells. Past studies suggest that extracellular ATP and neurotrophic ... -
β-glycyrrhetinic Acid Alters Phosphorylation States of the Gap Junction Protein Connexin-43 in Enterocyte-like Cells
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal inflammatory disease representing a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among premature neonates. NEC may be associated with an impaired capability for intestinal ... -
Transposon Mutagenisis of Serratia marcescens strain SCBI, a Nematode Symbiont that Enables Insect Killing
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Entomopathogenic nematodes form symbiotic relationships with bacteria such as Photorhabdus, Xenorhabdus, and Serratia. The nematodes and bacteria associate to become a better parasitoid to insect larva. The nematodes ... -
In vitro effects of (-)-epigaIl0-3-catechin gallate on induced inflammation response in human gingival fibroblasts and EpiGingival™ tissue models
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Periodontal diseases constitute a major concern in oral healthcare. Periodontitis and gingivitis, together, present a problem twice as large as tooth decay. These diseases are characterized mainly by inflammation, but ... -
Ataxin-3 and huntingtin induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell death are ameliorated by overexpression of stanniocalcin 2
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) and Huntington's disease (HD) are polyglutamine (polyQ) disorders associated with progressive neurodegeneration in aftlicted persons. At the molecular level, these diseases are ... -
Effects of anticancer agents on the growth of human colorectal cancer cells xenograft in nude mice
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Cancer accounts for more drug related fatalities in the United States than any other disease related illness, which is why preclinical research and drug development is a popular topic in science today. One of the most ... -
Corticosterone as an Indicator of stress during estrus and pregnancy in captive sea otters (Enhydra lutris)
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Sea otter populations are at risk of extinction because population size has not recovered from the drastic reduction caused by the hunting and fur trade of the 18th and 19th centuries. With a small population facing ... -
Effect of Phytase Supplementation On Protein Digestibility in Horses At Maintenance
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)Protein digestibility in horses has been researched for years. Despite established requirements, the feeding of too much protein has become a major environmental concern for its role in excess nitrogen emissions. Recent ...
