Crosstalk Signaling Between cAMP and mTORC1
… increase cyclic adenosine 3'5' monophosphate (cAMP) to activate protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates Raptor at Ser 791 resulting in potent mTORC1 inhibition. We identified a novel mTORC1-interacting protein called A-kinase anchoring protein 8L (AKAP8L). Using biochemical assays, we …

A place for a children's camp
The project is a summer camp where children can learn about nature. The thesis involves the placement of buildings in a natural setting. The challenge is to design and locate the buildings so that they may help explain the site and enable children to understand it. The thesis is more than finding a …
