Habitat Use by Boreal Mammals in Response to Salvage Logging After an Insect Outbreak
Post-disturbance logging (i.e., salvage logging) is controversial, as it may disrupt forest succession and alter wildlife habitat. I examined habitat use by moose (Alces americanus), snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus), lynx (Lynx canadensis), coyotes (Canis latrans), and little brown bats (Myotis …

NAD+ salvage by Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) mediates lipogenesis, energy homeostasis, and survival in prostate cancer
… step of NAD<super>+</super> biosynthesis in the salvage pathway is catalyzed by Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt). In these studies, we focus on the role of Nampt in tumor biology. Specifically, we demonstrate that Nampt activity is required for <italic>de novo</italic> lipogenesis …

Tissue Salvage in the Non-reperfused Myocardium Mediated by (the absence of the circadian rhythm gene) mPer2 and (the receptor tyrosine kinase) EphrinA1
Alterations in circadian rhythm have been associated with numerous cardiovascular pathologies. In project 1, we tested the hypothesis that functional mutation of the Per2 circadian clock gene would provide cardioprotection to mice that had undergone permanent coronary ligation to induce myocardial …
