In skin connective tissue, dermal fibroblasts appear to be the most prevalent cell type. They are in charge of making the extracellular matrix that makes up the skin's connective tissue, and also involved in wound healing. Moreover, they produce Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which helps in activation of Insulin growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). This receptor helps to control cell proliferation and responses to DNA-damaging substances such as UVB radiation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and therapeutic drugs. According to our findings, lack of IGF-1 expression in the dermis of elderly patients due to fibroblast senescence (senescence is characterized by which cells …


The Combined Effects Of Chemicals Used In Textile Processing On Plankton Communities., Diana Wilson Jan 2020

The Combined Effects Of Chemicals Used In Textile Processing On Plankton Communities., Diana Wilson

Honors College Theses

Industrial discharge, such as textile effluent, is a major source of chemical mixtures to surface waters. The effects of these mixtures on interacting aquatic organisms can be difficult to predict. We hypothesized that individual chemical effects on phytoplankton and a zooplankton grazer are altered by the presence of other chemicals in mixtures. Microcosms containing a phytoplankton food source (Chlorella sp.) and a zooplankton grazer (Daphnia magna) were exposed to THPC, ammonium, and hydrogen peroxide in a fully crossed design in a greenhouse for one week. Phytoplankton abundance was quantified and zooplankton response was measured as mortality and …
