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 ...
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 ...
Nesting Preferences of Stem Nesting Bees in Southwest Michigan Agricultural Fields
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)
For the last two decades around the world invertebrate and vertebrate pollinators
have been in decline. This includes the European honey bee Apis melli/era, which is
responsible for pollinating $10 billion worth of crops ...
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 ...
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 ...
Where are Atherosclerosis and Hypertension Hiding? Location and Function of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in Vascular Tissue
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)
This study explored the role of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in
vascular tissue with the hopes of shedding some light on this enzyme's possible
involvement in the development of atherosclerosis and/or ...
Detection of Human Mammaglobin mRNA as an Early Marker of Breast Cancer Metastasis
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)
Breast cancer is a devastating illness, claiming the lives of over 40,000 women
each year in the United States alone. As in many diseases, the earlier breast cancer is
detected, the more favorable the patient's prognosis. ...
DC-SIGN Carbohydrate Recognition Domain (CRD) Determinants Responsible for HIV -1 Binding
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)
Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3)-grabbing nonintegrin
(DC-SIGN) is a C-type lectin present in activated B-cells, subsets of
macrophages, mucosal dendritic cells, and monocyte-derived ...
Traumatic Brain Injury Causes Increased Gut Permeability by Attenuation of the Tight Junction Proteins Zonula Occludens Protein-l and Occludin
(Kalamazoo College, 2009)
Millions of individuals sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year in the
United States. In many cases of TBI, the body responds with a cascade of progressive
illnesses, including systemic inflammatory response ...
