Processes driving population genetics and biogeography in marine species (fish and echinoderms) in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Sepahvand, Vahid

The Antarctic was once considered isolated and one of the most stable ecosystems on Earth, but with climate change, it is facing challenges, including invasive species, shifting ocean circulation patterns, warm waters, and melting sea ice, all of which make it highly vulnerable. The species in this region, faced with c...

Investigating brain-wide local field potential connectivity patterns underlying migraine

Johnson, Micah Simone

Migraine is a debilitating disease, impacting over 1 billion people worldwide. Migraine consists of complex brain circuitry characterized by dysfunctional sensory-related brain circuits that intersect pain, sensation, and affect. Preclinical models of migraine have shed light on migraine-related phenotypes such as allo...

Links between mechanics and metabolism in endothelial cells and in vivo

Wells, Nicholas M

All cells experience varying types and magnitudes of force throughout their lifetime. Cellular responses to these forces are often critical to their biological role and function. Forces are predominantly sensed by surface adhesion receptors. Activation of the adhesion receptors at the cell-cell or junctional interface...

Functional studies of novel airway ciliated cell proteins in health and disease

Jain, Akansha

This thesis is an exploration into the function of uncoupling proteins and the role of a sensory cilia protein, RPGRIP1L, in airway ciliated cells. Ciliated cells of the airway require significant ATP to carry out ciliary beating. In addition, the airway epithelium is exposed to one of the highest oxygen levels in the...

Survival in Adversity: Decoding the General Stress Response and Biofilm Formation

Baral, Rishika

Bacteria have the option of initiating adaptive transcription to deal with the stress or to form a defensive community of a biofilm in order to survive. Here, we identified how bacteria utilize a modular toolkit of signaling proteins with exchangeable domains to survive in adverse environments. Two serine/threonine pho...
