Metabolic Collaboration Between Cells In The Tumor Microenvironment Has A Negligible Effect On Tumor Growth, Johan Gustafsson, Fariba Roshanzamir, Anders Hagnestål, Sagar M. Patel, Oseeyi I. Daudu, Donald F. Becker, Jonathan L. Robinson, Jens Nielsen

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

The tumor microenvironment is composed of a complex mixture of different cell types interacting under conditions of nutrient deprivation, but the metabolism therein is not fully understood due to difficulties in measuring metabolic fluxes and exchange of metabolites between different cell types in vivo. Genome-scale metabolic modeling enables estimation of such exchange fluxes as well as an opportunity to gain insight into the metabolic behavior of individual cell types. Here, we estimated the availability of nutrients and oxygen within the tumor microenvironment using concentration measurements from blood together with a metabolite diffusion model. In addition, we developed an approach …

Hydrophobic Surface Patch Disruption To Produce Water-Soluble G-Protein Coupled Receptors, Christy Lynn Dyer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCR) are membrane protein receptors involved in most eukaryotic signaling processes. GPCR are the largest pharmaceutically relevant membrane protein group, serving as targets for approximately one-third of all drugs currently approved by the FDA and many drug candidates presently undergoing clinical trials. Still, only about one-fourth of all known GPCR are current pharmaceutical targets, leaving vast untapped potential. Chapter 1 describes the conserved structure of GPCR, and briefly introduces their diverse ligands and functions. The pharmaceutical relevance of GPCR is highlighted, along with some of the challenges associated with their structure determination that have hindered our understanding of …

Does Where We Live Matter To Oral Health? Tensions Between Rural Older Adults’ Concept Of Community And Health Individualism, Swaha Pattanaik, April M. Schueths Dr., Raymona H. Lawrence, Bettye A. Apenteng, Georgia Dounis

Sociology & Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Oral health is essential to overall health; however, structural obstacles influence older rural residents' oral health outcomes, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds in the South. Poor oral health is typically attributed to individual choices, shifting the focus from the inconspicuous community influences, making it more difficult for older rural people to obtain oral healthcare. This qualitative study explores how older adults in rural Georgia understand the community's role in shaping their oral health. Twenty-two older adults were interviewed from five rural communities in southeast Georgia. Participants defined their community in geographic terms. Community barriers and self-reliance emerged as themes of …

Enhancing Antibody Responses By Multivalent Antigen Display On Thymus-Independent Dna Origami Scaffolds, Eike-Christian Wamhoff, James Brett Case, Shilpa Sanapala, Michael S Diamond, Et Al. Jan 2024

Enhancing Antibody Responses By Multivalent Antigen Display On Thymus-Independent Dna Origami Scaffolds, Eike-Christian Wamhoff, James Brett Case, Shilpa Sanapala, Michael S Diamond, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Protein-based virus-like particles (P-VLPs) are commonly used to spatially organize antigens and enhance humoral immunity through multivalent antigen display. However, P-VLPs are thymus-dependent antigens that are themselves immunogenic and can induce B cell responses that may neutralize the platform. Here, we investigate thymus-independent DNA origami as an alternative material for multivalent antigen display using the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the primary target of neutralizing antibody responses. Sequential immunization of mice with DNA-based VLPs (DNA-VLPs) elicits protective neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in a manner that depends on the valency of the antigen displayed and on T …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey is a valuable resource for mapping changes in plankton distribution and understanding harmful algal ecology because of its breadth and longevity. Preservation methods with formalin degrade DNA, making it difficult to use as a molecular tool for archived marine samples. DNA was extracted from CPR samples immediately after collection, seven months later and after nine years of storage from a cruise track along the Iberian Peninsula. PCR reactions performed from the nine-year timepoint were hybridized to probes in an electrochemical biosensor and compared to results obtained from RT-PCR performed at two earlier time points. …

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

A dense, pungent, brown-green, intricately woven, itchy-silky, moss-strewn, twig- ridden ball brought us together.Since then, nest(ing)[i] has become a shared methodology - nest/ing has offered a praxis of getting to know each other, getting to know nests (better) and it has become a capacious writing methodology. Taking nest(ing) seriously has drawn into sharp focus the perils of human exceptionalism. Nesting has gifted opportunities to wallow in porous boundaries and to luxuriate in modes of liminal reading/writing/experimenting, informed by a feminist politics to imagine the world differently (Despret, 2016). It is through lively storytelling, involving passing patterns back and forth that …

How Development And Survival Combine To Determine The Thermal Sensitivity Of Insects, Mariana Abarca, Anna L. Parker, Elise A. Larsen, James Umbanhowar, Chandra Earl, Robert Guralnick, Joel Kingsolver, Leslie Ries Jan 2024

How Development And Survival Combine To Determine The Thermal Sensitivity Of Insects, Mariana Abarca, Anna L. Parker, Elise A. Larsen, James Umbanhowar, Chandra Earl, Robert Guralnick, Joel Kingsolver, Leslie Ries

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) depict variation in vital rates in response to temperature and have been an important tool to understand ecological and evolutionary constraints on the thermal sensitivity of ectotherms. TPCs allow for the calculation of indicators of thermal tolerance, such as minimum, optimum, and maximum temperatures that allow for a given metabolic function. However, these indicators are computed using only responses from surviving individuals, which can lead to underestimation of deleterious effects of thermal stress, particularly at high temperatures. Here, we advocate for an integrative frame- work for assessing thermal sensitivity, which combines both vital rates and survival …
