Classify Cancers Types Using Mirnas Profiles And Machine Learning, Wafaa Khazaal Shams
AUIQ Technical Engineering Science
Cancer classification is important for early diagnosis and effective treatment. This study proposes a hybrid framework that combines Fisher Discriminant analysis (FD) with Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) expression profiles for three types of cancer are used to evaluate the model. These are: lung- adenocarcinoma, ovary and pancreas cancers. The classification process is done using 5-fold cross valuation. Results show significant performance for LSTM compared to LSVM with and without features reduction. However, using FD analysis results in high accuracy reached 0.97and 0.96 for LSTM and LSVM respectively, using 50 miRNAs. The …

Male Caregiving Experience Alters Hippocampal Neuroplasticity And Transcription Independent Of Reproduction In A Biparental Species., Maria E Colt, Priyanka Agarwal, Erica R Glasper, Heidi Fisher
Faculty Research 2025
In mammals, measurable changes in brain and behavior accompany the transition to parenthood. In the biparental California mouse, Peromyscus californicus, fathers experience enhanced neuroplasticity, including increased hippocampal dendritic spine density, reduced anxiety, and improved memory. Here, we first investigate whether siring offspring or pup interaction drives structural neuroplasticity in fathers and find that hippocampal spine density is positively associated with caregiving experience, even in the absence of reproduction. Next, we evaluate the transcriptional response to caregiving in the hippocampus of these males and identify 158 differentially expressed genes between fathers and non-fathers, many of which are associated with neurogenesis, neuronal …

Vitamin D Deficiency And Its Role In Pathologies Of Oxidative Stress: A Literature Review, Philippe Dentino, Johanna Mora, Li Zuo
School of Medicine Publications
Vitamin D (VD) is a key mineral providing critical modulation of reduction-oxidation homeostasis within biological systems. VD and the VD receptor coordinate essential cellular activities, including mitochondrial electron transport, respiration, antioxidation, gene regulation, and calcium transportation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a natural by-product of cellular metabolism, play a prominent role in the mechanisms of biological antioxidant systems and form the basis of antioxidant therapies. However, ROS may also perpetuate pathological processes when produced in excess secondary to inflammatory pathways. Aging processes within cells rely on this reduction-oxidation homeostasis. Thus, the interaction with VD, its receptor, mitochondria, and oxidative stress forms …

Predation By The Brown Vine Snake, Oxybelis Koehleri, On The Autotomized Tail Of An Escaping Common Anole, Anolis Humilis, Jose M. Mora, Myzell Kenneth Amaro
Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations
During a natural history hike at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, we observed a Brown Vine Snake, Oxybelis koehleri, consuming the autotomized tail of a Common Humble Anole, Anolis humilis, which had escaped predation. This event represents a rare documented instance of a vine snake feeding exclusively on a detached lizard tail. Tail autotomy is a widespread anti-predator strategy among lizards, with the shed tail continuing to writhe post-detachment, potentially attracting predators. Lizard tails are lipid-rich and offer a convenient energy source, especially in resource-scarce environments. Although such behavior has been noted in other reptiles, it is seldom …
Bclaf1 Is A Novel Regulator Of Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Stephanie Crowley
Bclaf1 Is A Novel Regulator Of Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Stephanie Crowley
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) maintain both a self-renewal capacity to persist throughout life and an ability to differentiate into mature cell lineages. HSC self-renewal programs are often ectopically activated in leukemia cells to sustain developmental arrest and neoplastic proliferation. Recently, the transcriptional regulator Bclaf1 (Bcl2 associated transcription factor 1) was shown to support proliferation and block differentiation of AML blasts. Bclaf1 is ubiquitously expressed in hematopoietic cells but its function in normal hematopoiesis has not been elucidated. Our data demonstrate that BCLAF1 promotes HSC development and function. To study the role of BCLAF1 in normal HSCs, we used murine models …

Implementation Of A Forensic Ancestry Inference Indel Panel, Jacqueline Molina
Student Theses
Ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) are genetic variants that exhibit significant frequency differences between populations, making them valuable tools for inferring biogeographical ancestry in forensic investigations. Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (INDELs) offer particular advantages for degraded forensic samples due to their short amplicon sizes and binary allelic nature. As forensic laboratories adopt newer instrumentation, validation of established assays becomes critical to ensure analytical continuity and reliability. This study evaluated the comparative performance of the SeqStudio™ Genetic Analyzer in detecting a 46 AIMs INDEL multiplex panel, previously established with the ABI 3130 Genetic Analyzer. Four commercial blood samples were analyzed using both platforms to assess …

Gastrointestinal Fistulas-What Gastroenterologists Need To Know In 2025, Monjur Ahmed
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Faculty Papers
Gastrointestinal fistulas are increasingly being encountered in our clinical practice because of the increased burden of Crohn's disease, bariatric surgeries, interventional endoscopic procedures, nonsurgical trauma, and war and disaster zones worldwide. Presentation depends on the location and specific type of the fistula. Symptomatic ones can have a tremendous impact on social life and can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, increased morbidity, and mortality. Different imaging studies and endoscopic procedures are done to establish the diagnosis. Treatment modalities to close the fistula depend on the underlying disease and the type of fistula. They include conservative treatment, medical therapy, endoscopic interventions, and …

Human norovirus (HuNoV) causes acute gastroenteritis in immunocompetent hosts and chronic infection in immunocompromised individuals. Many recent studies of replication and innate immune responses following HuNoV infection have utilized epithelium-only human intestinal enteroids (HIEs), which lack immune cells. Here, we utilized an ex vivo enteroid-macrophage coculture model consisting of HIEs and different subtypes of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived macrophages to better recapitulate in vivo gut biology and explore the role of macrophages in HuNoV replication and pathogenesis. We show that HuNoV infection in HIEs polarized on Transwells leads to bilateral release of the viral genome, with predominant apical virus …

High School Teachers’ Experiences Using Data-Driven Decision Making To Implement Supplemental Accelerated Instruction, Stephen Courtney Smith, Sr.
High School Teachers’ Experiences Using Data-Driven Decision Making To Implement Supplemental Accelerated Instruction, Stephen Courtney Smith, Sr.
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The problem that was addressed in this study was that high school teachers in a Texas school district struggle to use data-driven decision making (DDDM) to meet the requirements of Texas HB 1416, which mandates specific interventions to address instructional loss. Grounded in the theory of DDDM, by Mandinach et al., the purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore high school teachers’ experiences using DDDM to implement supplemental accelerated instruction (SAI) for students who failed to demonstrate proficiency on state exams. Data were collected using semistructured interviews with 12 high school teachers from a Texas school district. Using …

Determining The Origin Of An Isolated Great Lakes Plant Species, Agoseris Glauca (Asteraceae), Seth Paul Hiers
Masters Theses
Small, isolated populations often have low genetic diversity and low potential for adaptation in response to environmental changes. Alternatively, isolated communities are often more likely to display local adaptations and over time speciate. The Great Lakes Region is home to over 50 vascular plant species that are disjunct from the species’ core populations. Agoseris glauca (Asteraceae) is a Great Lakes disjunct and Michigan state threatened species geographically isolated from its core range by 900 km. This study uses Genotyping by Sequencing to assess the population genetics of A. glauca for two Michigan disjunct populations and five western populations in the …

Cardiometabolic Outcomes In The Obese African American Population With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Cecilia Jillo Walan
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disproportionately impacts African American adults, particularly those with obesity, due to overlapping cardiometabolic risks and health care disparities. The intersection of RA, obesity, and chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension underscores the need for targeted public health interventions. This study investigated the association between RA and cardiometabolic outcomes among African American adults with obesity, aiming to identify significant predictors within this high-risk population. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design to analyze data from the 1999–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey undergirded by the social ecological change framework with N=23644 African American adults …

Preliminary experimentation has suggested that a research-use-only real-time transcription-mediated amplification assay for Treponema pallidum (RUO T. pallidum TMA) yields instances of T. pallidum nucleic acid detection that coincide with non-treponemal serology in men who have sex with men (MSM) at increased risk for sexually transmitted infection. To further characterize the specificity of RUO T. pallidum TMA testing, 3,586 rectal swab specimens reported as “not detected” by the assay generated a mean endpoint FAM fluorescence of 637.5 units. Introduction of Treponema denticola, Treponema phagedenis, and Treponema refringens nucleic acid into matrices generated mean endpoint FAM fluorescence ranging from 620.7 …

Ribosome Deficiency Induces Salmonella Filamentation Within Host Cells, Zhihui Lyu, Cierra Wilson, Kalyn Weiss, Spencer Lewis, Kurt Fredrick, William Margolin, Jiqiang Ling
Faculty, Staff and Student Publications
The ribosome is the central hub for protein synthesis and is heavily targeted by antibiotics. Ribosomal mutations, antibiotic treatment, and nutrient starvation can alter translational efficiency and lead to stressed cells. Ribosome deficiency plays a critical role in stress responses and disease progression; yet, how it affects bacteria-host interactions remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that a ribosome-deficient strain exhibits a surprising morphological change from rod shape to filamentous in Salmonella cells growing inside host macrophages. Such filamentation depends on an acidic condition within macrophages and in a defined medium mimicking macrophage conditions. Further genetic analyses revealed that …
