Flow Cytometric Analysis for Cyanobacteria in 36 New Jersey Freshwater Bodies
… accumulation of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous is primarily from anthropogenic nitrogen and natural occurrences. This phenomenon causes cyanobacterial overgrowth which can potentially lead to toxic algal blooms that affect public drinking water sources and recreational usage. An …

Using Mouse Models to Define How The P53 R72P Polymorphism Impacts The Adverse Effects of Doxorubicin and Ionizing Radiation
… to genotoxic insult. Studies in cell culture and in tissues from mouse models of the SNP indicate that, in response to gentoxic treatment, the two variants may differentially induce apoptosis and expression of p53 target genes. In epidemiological studies, the P variant is associated with …

BACTERIAL BIOFILM FORMATION AS A TOOL TO ASSESS CHEMICALLY TREATED WASTEWATER QUALITY IN DEEP EAST TEXAS
… on a sequence of primary, secondary, tertiary, and advanced treatment stages to remove contaminants. However, despite these processes, microbes can still thrive in treated water from WWTP, posing a significant threat to water quality and public health. This study investigates the suitability of …

Chemically Induced Phytoextraction of Lead (Pb) Contaminated Soil by Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
… including industrial byproducts create an environmental and human health risk. Phytoextraction through chemical acquisition of Pb in soils offer a potentially cost effective and ecologically driven approach to remediation. Switchgrass (<em>Panicum virgatum </em>L.) is known to have a …

Xenoestrogen-Specific Mechanisms of Developmental Reprogramming Correlate With Gene Expression and Tumor Development
Environmental exposures during sensitive windows of development can reprogram normal physiological responses and alter disease susceptibility later in life in a process known as developmental reprogramming. We have shown that neonatal exposure to the xenoestrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) can …

Roles of Oxidative Stress and Dna Methylation In Cigarette Smoking-Induced Accelerated Acute Myeloid Leukemia Progression
… AML survival. Smoking causes oxidative stress and altered DNA methylation that persists for decades in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but these changes from smoking have not been evaluated in the context of AML. We hypothesize that smoking-induced molecular changes, including altered DNA …

Amphiphilic Cell-Penetrating Peptides Containing Natural and Unnatural Amino Acids as Drug Delivery Tools and Antimicrobial Agents
… arginine as positively charged residues and tryptophan or diphenylalanine as hydrophobic residues were synthesized. The synthesis was accomplished through the Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in the presence of HBTU and DIPEA. The side-chain protected linear peptides were cleaved from …
