The Economic Growth And Tax Relief Reconciliation Act Of 2001 And Its Effect On Estate Planning, Jennifer Jedrzejewski

Marquette Elder's Advisor

Because of the sunset provision of EGTRRA, estate planning through 2010 and beyond has become even more complicated. EGTRRA phases down the maximum estate, gift, and generation skipping rate of tax at intervals. Applicable state tax rates have in many states been modified to adjust for the EGTRRA effect. This article discusses the use of AB and Qualified Terminable Interest Property trusts using several hypothetical situations.

Mitochondrial Involvement In Neurodegeneration And Aging, Alicia M. Pickrell Aug 2012

Mitochondrial Involvement In Neurodegeneration And Aging, Alicia M. Pickrell

Open Access Dissertations

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and oxidative phosphorylation deficiency have been associated with neurodegenerative disease and aging. I hypothesized that different neuronal populations handle the respiratory chain dysfunctions differently and that different cell types also mediate different responses to mtDNA damage. We used a transgenic mouse model under the tetracycline response system to temporally and spatially control the expression of a mitochondrial-targeted restriction endonuclease, mito-PstI. Using different neuronal drivers to induce the expression of mito-PstI, we were able to elicit mtDNA double strand break damage causing an OXPHOS deficiency in vivo (Chapter 2 and 3). We then were able to follow …
