Developing Red Fluorescent Zn2+ Sensors and Characterizing Zn2+ Homeostasis in Mucolipidosis Type IV Disease
<p>Zinc (Zn<sup>2+</sup>) is a divalent, redox-inert metal that plays a vital role in many cellular processes either by acting as a catalytic cofactor or a labile signaling molecule in the cytoplasm. Cytosolic Zn<sup>2+</sup> levels are tightly regulated to stay within a narrow window of …

IDENTIFYING THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTIVE EPISODES AND MECHANISMS ON REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS IN TRIBOLIUM CASTANEUM AND DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
… or behaviorally bias fertilization to preferred males, further shaping reproductive success. Additionally, the act of mating itself may influence parental lifespan or rate of offspring production. Here, I investigate the influence of multiple selective episodes on different aspects of …

Amphiphilic Cyclic Cell-Penetrating Peptides Containing Tryptophan and Arginine as Anticancer Agents and Drug Delivery System
… molecular weight molecules, such as siRNA and proteins. We prepared a cyclic peptide containing alternative tryptophan (W) and arginine (R) residues and a lysine containing a free side chain amino group. Cyclic peptide [(WR)8WK βA] was conjugated through the free side chain amino group of …

Promotion of Hair Cell Fate by Atoh1 and MicroRNA-183 Family
… including aging, noise exposure and genetic predisposition. A barrier to hearing restoration after hair cell loss is the inability of mammalian auditory hair cells to spontaneously regenerate. Multiple factors are shown to be crucial for hair cell development and represent good candidates for …

Phenotypic response to selection for protein in maize kernels
Long-term, divergent selection for protein concentration in maize grain has been conducted at the University of Illinois since 1896. Grain protein concentration in maize and other cereal crops is strongly associated with productivity, nutritional quality, and processing characteristics. Although …

Regulation of floury2-mRFP expression in response to long term selection for grain protein concentration in maize
… in higher plants in the world. Seven hundred and twenty-one cycles of divergent selection for grain protein and oil concentration have produced populations with the known phenotypic extremes for this trait, and also illustrate the nature of responses to phenotypic selection. This report …
