Oncogenic Kras Mutations Confer A Unique Mechanotransduction Response To Peristalsis In Colorectal Cancer Cells, Abigail J Clevenger, Claudia A Collier, John Paul M Gorley, Sarah Colijn, Maygan K Mcfarlin, Scott Kopetz, Shreya A Raghavan

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Colorectal cancer tumors start as polyps on the inner lining of the colorectum, in which they are exposed to the mechanics of peristalsis. Our previous work leveraged a custom-built peristalsis bioreactor to demonstrate that colonic peristalsis led to cancer stem cell enrichment in colorectal cancer cells. However, this malignant mechanotransductive response was confined to select colorectal cancer lines that harbored an oncogenic mutation in the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) gene. In this study, we explored the involvement of activating KRAS mutations on peristalsis-associated mechanotransduction in colorectal cancer. Peristalsis enriched cancer stem cell marker Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 …


Populating A Content Feed Based On A Hotness Score, Yongzhe Wang Feb 2025

Populating A Content Feed Based On A Hotness Score, Yongzhe Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Content sharing platforms typically populate content feeds with media items that are determined to be currently relevant or “fresh.” This allows the content sharing platforms to prioritize newer content for users. However, content sharing platforms typically fail to consider the “hotness” or popularity of media items. This disclosure relates to populating a content feed using a hotness score. The hotness score can be used to indicate a media item’s popularity, engagement, and/or relevance. The hotness score can be used in addition to other scores, such as freshness scores, or instead of one or more of these scores.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that claims 1.5 million lives annually. Opuntia ficus-indica, commonly known as the prickly pear, has been commonly used in traditional folk medicine for its hypoglycemic properties. It has been claimed that it has antimicrobial and antioxidant properties as well. The plant is native to Mexico and is commonly found in the middle east and India and folk medicine from all of these areas have been using prickly pear medicinally for years. To test these claims an extract of locally sourced Opuntia ficus-indica was prepared using the flesh and seeds of the fruit. The …


Evolution Of Lyrics Of Egyptian Songs In The 20th Century, Omar Abdelrafe Feb 2025

Evolution Of Lyrics Of Egyptian Songs In The 20th Century, Omar Abdelrafe

The Undergraduate Research Journal

Despite the extensive research by western countries on the song lyrics, almost nothing is known about the evolution of Egyptian song lyrics. The previous studies in the U.S. and U.K. revealed that lyrics were more pessimistic as time passed. In this study, 1891 Egyptian songs from 1920 to 2022 were analyzed using a sentiment analysis tool while searching for offensive words and retrieving their popularity scores from Spotify. The results aligned with those of the other regions in which the negativity of songs and the percentage of songs containing offensive words increased. However, there is a substantial increase in neutral …

Analyzing The Impact Of Societal Perceptions Of Honor On Women's Involvement In The 1919 Revolution And The 2011 Revolution: A Comparative Study, Haya Shalaby Feb 2025

Analyzing The Impact Of Societal Perceptions Of Honor On Women's Involvement In The 1919 Revolution And The 2011 Revolution: A Comparative Study, Haya Shalaby

The Undergraduate Research Journal

Women have always been a part of the political sphere, visibly so or not. It was when they started getting more seen in the streets and protests that issues began to rise. The main factor behind that is honor, a complicated and multilayered subject, especially in the Middle East. The way it has been defined, at every point in time, relies on political and religious motives, with the ultimate goal of restricting and controlling the lives of women and their involvement in powerful, fundamental changes. Society perceives honor through its relation to biased religious perceptions, therefore, we find that public …


Beyond Pink And Plastic: A Critical Analysis Of Barbie (2023) Through The Lens Of Gender Performativity, Intersectionality, And Diverse Cultural Perspectives, Nelly K. Abdelwahed Feb 2025

Beyond Pink And Plastic: A Critical Analysis Of Barbie (2023) Through The Lens Of Gender Performativity, Intersectionality, And Diverse Cultural Perspectives, Nelly K. Abdelwahed

The Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper critically examines Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig, through the frameworks of Judith Butler’s gender performativity and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality. By analyzing qualitative data from interviews with Egyptian university students, the study explores how the film challenges traditional gender norms while addressing its polarizing reception globally. While Barbie (2023) succeeds in sparking conversations about gender, identity, and societal expectations, its Western-centric narrative limits its resonance with non-Western audiences, particularly in the Middle East. The findings reveal a dichotomy: the film effectively critiques systemic inequalities and empowers women but simultaneously overlooks intersectional and diverse lived experiences. This analysis highlights …

The Experiences Of Older Adults With Vascular Anomalies: An Oral History, Anna Kerr Feb 2025

The Experiences Of Older Adults With Vascular Anomalies: An Oral History, Anna Kerr

Primary Care Faculty Data

Older adults who have navigated care for vascular anomalies (VAs) their entire lives can help clinicians and researchers understand the most significant experiences for patients across multiple life stages. Their insights can also reveal gaps in care and supportive resources that can inform the development of tailored interventions across age groups. We explored the experiences of older adults with rare VAs. Data were collected using in-depth oral history interviews with 9 older adults (Mean age = 69.4 years; SD = 4.1) with VAs recruited from advocacy organizations. The interviews were conducted over the phone or using Zoom.

Streamlined Production, Protection, And Purification Of Enzyme Biocatalysts Using Virus-Like Particles And A Cell-Free Protein Synthesis System, Seung O. Yang, Joseph P. Talley, Gregory H. Nielsen, Kristen M. Wilding, Bradley Charles Bundy

Faculty Publications

Enzymes play an essential role in many different industries; however, their operating conditions are limited due to the loss of enzyme activity in the presence of proteases and at temperatures significantly above physiological conditions. One way to improve the stability of these enzymes against high temperatures and proteases is to encapsulate them in protective shells or virus-like particles. This work presents a streamlined, three-step, cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) procedure that enables rapid in vitro enzyme production, targeted encapsulation in protective virus-like particles (VLPs), and facile purification using a 6× His-tag fused to the VLP coat protein. This process is performed …
