Understanding why BMI1 and MEL18 act differently in cells
Aimed at autistic disorder, this project looks at two proteins that are very similar but have opposite effects on cell growth, to uncover clues that could lead to better treatments in the future.
-
Novel manganese-based antioxidant may protect brain cells in a Drosophila model of Parkinson’s-related neurodegeneration
A science team is testing a manganese porphyrin antioxidant in fruit flies that mimic Parkinson’s disease to see if it can reduce brain cell damage from oxidative stress.
-
Signaling molecules that trigger egg activation during fertilization
Aimed at understanding how sperm-egg contact starts the embryo’s development by mapping the signaling steps in sea stars that activate the egg.
-
Oral inflammation and gut-brain link in dental patients through practice-based research
A practice-based research program to help dentists and students work together to study how oral inflammation relates to chronic gut-related GI symptoms.
-
Impact of repeated low oxygen levels on breathing control in the brain
This study is looking at how repeated drops in oxygen levels during sleep, common in people with sleep apnea, affect the brain's breathing control, specifically focusing on important nerve cells that help keep the airway open.
-
Exploring the link between oral inflammation and gastrointestinal disorders.
This study is all about helping dental students and faculty learn how oral inflammation might affect gut health, so they can better understand and treat patients with these issues in the future.
-
How vocal strain affects the healing of vocal fold injuries
This study is looking at how using your voice in different ways affects the healing of vocal fold injuries, which could help us find better treatments for people with voice problems.
-
Understanding how specific protein combinations form in cancer-related complexes
This study is looking at how certain proteins work together in our cells and how their interactions might go wrong and lead to cancer, helping us understand more about what causes this disease.
