Investigating the role of epigenetics in rapid adaptation to stress in Arabidopsis thaliana and Sorghum bicolor
… organisms and have developed varied mechanisms to tolerate stress. One such mechanism is DNA methylation, which plays a vital role within and across generational stress adaptation. To understand the role of DNA methylation in transgenerational stress adaptation, we exposed Arabidopsis thaliana …

Measuring the impact of a mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention on perceived stress and study skills of social work graduate students
… measuring the impact of a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction intervention (MBSR) on potential stressors, appraised stress levels and adaptation to stress of MSW students enrolled in the Louisiana State University School of Social Work through a pretest posttest group design using time-series …

Estudio de genómica comparada de genes bacterianos relacionados con la proliferación en la rizosfera
… adhesion, the biosynthesis of flagella and the adaptation to stress, essential characteristics to carry out an optimal colonization of the rhizosphere, as well as the genes involved in the different stages of colonization. The RpoN and FliA genes have been described as genes involved in …

Novel Aspects of the Response to Cellular Stress and Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
The cellular stress response represents an essential mechanism that enables cells to adapt to an array of environmental and physiological conditions. Given the importance of these adaptive responses, it comes as no surprise that dysregulation of the stress response has been strongly implicated in …

Identification of Chlamydial Iron-Responsive Proteins during Intracellular Growth.
… by chronic, intense inflammation, can lead to genital tissue scarring and infertility and is a contributing factor to development of pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy. Iron is required as a cofactor for numerous highly conserved pathways, and nearly all studied organisms rely …

Characterization of signaling pathways underlying key growth and development processes in Populus trichocarpa
The project goals for this dissertation were to manipulate Populus trichocarpa source-sink relationships to optimize this woody crop species for specific agricultural traits such as increased growth rate, stress tolerance and/or improvements in overall biomass accumulation. We targeted specific …

The Role of Apolipoprotein E in Pregnancy-Associated Protein Misfolding and Risk of Preeclampsia
… of preeclampsia causation remains limited due to highly indistinct and heterogeneous processes. Evidence from our lab and others has identified preeclampsia as a protein misfolding disorder marked by an accumulation of abnormal conformations of misfolded proteins (including β-amyloid) in urine, …

Instrumental conditioning and learning in Poroderma Pantherinum
… on the IUCN red list and known threats due to anthropogenic impacts include fatalities because of bycatch and depredation in the small-scale commercial fishing industry. It has been suggested that sharks can be attracted to fishing boats through the sound of outboard motors and an …

Using a mixed methods sequential explanatory approach to identify the roles of social and cognitive factors in the development and maintenance of cancer-related PTSD in cancer survivors.
Aims: Identify the mean prevalence of CR-PTSD, factors related to trauma, and the development and maintenance of PTSD, in cancer survivors. Background: Systematic reviews reveal that CR-PTSD is uncommon, and it is unclear a) what makes this experience traumatic, and b) what factors are implicated …

On aging and the role of Ubp3 in heterochromatic gene silencing and protein quality control
… of damage in organisms ranging from protists to multi-cellular species. This damage adversely affects core components such as DNA and proteins which are necessary to sustain life. Remarkably, as an old yeast cell divides, its daughter cell is fully rejuvenated suggesting that age-related …

New Roles for Mitochondria in Shaping Antiviral and Stress Responses
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles vital for energy production with now appreciated roles in immune defense. During microbial infection, mitochondria serve as signaling hubs to induce immune responses to counteract invading pathogens like viruses. Mitochondrial functions are central to a variety …

Role of BEC-1/Beclin 1 and Autophagy Genes in <i>C.elegans</i> Germline Cell Proliferation
<p>Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved process involved in the cellular adaptation to stress and basal levels of autophagy are crucial for cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Cellular recycling by autophagy is characterized by the formation of distinctive double-membrane vesicles …

Physiological roles and regulation of the cryptic prophage-encoded small protein DicB and small RNA DicF in Escherichia coli
Bacterial adaptation to stress conditions is vital for their survival in different environments. In the past decade, the important roles that small RNAs (sRNAs) and small proteins perform in regulating the stress response in bacteria has become evident. While the roles of numerous sRNAs and small …
