Therapeutic Effects Of Fully Reduced Hmgb1 On Fibroblasts And Pre-Osteoblasts Cultured Under Diabetic Conditions, Alfonso Reyes, Bhuvana Lakkasetter Chandrashekar, Peter Elvin, Danieli Rodrigues, Javier La Fontaine, Claudia Biguetti

School of Podiatric Medicine - Student Research

Background: Recent studies have shown that fully reduced High Mobility Group Box-1 (FR-HMGB1) can improve wound healing under normoglycemic conditions, but it has not been tested for diabetic conditions. This study aimed to assess the regenerative potential of FR-HMGB1 under high glucose levels in vitro.

Methods: Migration of human fibroblasts (HF) was tested using a scratch assay in control conditions, and in the presence of FR-HMGB1 (1.0 µg/mL and 10 µg/mL), both in non-diabetic (ND) and diabetic (D) conditions (60mM of glucose added to the culture media). HF cells were tested after 18 hours of scratching and stained with …

Effects Of Dietary Phytoestrogens On Spermatogenesis And Male Reproductive Tract In Mice, Trenton A. Dalm

Masters Theses

Increases in infertility over the past 50 years are linked to environmental exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). One type of EDC is phytoestrogens, commonly found in soy-based diets and foods such as cauliflower, tofu, and broccoli. Phytoestrogens may bind estrogen receptors and have positive or negative effects on receptor signaling. The developing male reproductive tract is potentially susceptible to endocrine disruptors leading to changes in adult reproductive function and possibly infertility. We hypothesized that dietary phytoestrogen exposure would have a dose dependent effect with the high diet yielding the lowest sperm count and worst performance compared to the medium …

Piezo2 In Somatosensory Neurons Controls Gastrointestinal Transit, M Rocio Servin-Vences, Ruby M Lam, Alize Koolen, Yu Wang, Dimah N Saade, Meaghan Loud, Halil Kacmaz, Suzanne Frausto, Yunxiao Zhang, Arthur Beyder, Kara L Marshall, Carsten G Bönnemann, Alexander T Chesler, Ardem Patapoutian

Duncan NRI Faculty and Staff Publications

The gastrointestinal tract is in a state of constant motion. These movements are tightly regulated by the presence of food and help digestion by mechanically breaking down and propelling gut content. Mechanical sensing in the gut is thought to be essential for regulating motility; however, the identity of the neuronal populations, the molecules involved, and the functional consequences of this sensation are unknown. Here, we show that humans lacking PIEZO2 exhibit impaired bowel sensation and motility. Piezo2 in mouse dorsal root, but not nodose ganglia is required to sense gut content, and this activity slows down food transit rates in …

Her3 Targeting Augments The Efficacy Of Panobinostat In Claudin-Low Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells, Hui Lyu, Defu Hou, Hao Liu, Sanbao Ruan, Congcong Tan, Jiande Wu, Chindo Hicks, Bolin Liu

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have a poor prognosis and high relapse rate due to limited therapeutic options. This study was conducted to determine the mechanisms of action of panobinostat, a pan-inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and FDA-approved medication for multiple myeloma, in TNBC and to provide a rationale for effective drug combinations against this aggressive disease. RNA sequencing analyses of the claudin-low (CL) TNBC (MDA-MB-231) cells untreated or treated with panobinostat were performed to identify the differentially expressed genes. Adaptive alterations in gene expression were analyzed and validated in additional CL TNBC cells. Tumor xenograft models were used …

Academic Freedom And Academic Integrity, Tony Shannon

International Journal for Business Education

The demand for freedom, an intense desire in fact, is a positive characteristic of our era, but human freedom does not mean acting in accord with one’s caprices or without restraint by any law. Recent controversaries at universities in Queensland have raised questions about mandating the French Review in Australian higher education as the review deals with the related issues of academic freedom and integrity.

To do so, I address several questions: does personal contact significantly change attitudes and language sentiments toward Arabs in Spain? Does the type of media consumption significantly change attitudes and language sentiments toward Arabs? To what extent do personal contact and media consumption jointly affect …

Vanguards Of Change In The "Georgia Of The North": Youth Activism In The New Jersey Civil Rights Movement, 1935-1955, A Digital History Project, Emily Peterson

Undergraduate Honors Theses

By highlighting how youth activism in New Jersey advanced efforts for racial justice in the state and facilitated regional and national collaboration, this project helps us understand the mid-twentieth century's civil rights movement as a national, not just a Southern struggle, led by youth.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the civil rights movement, with scholars looking beyond the most prominent male leaders of the national movement in the 1960s. This project builds on the work of scholars like Martha Biondi and Tomas Sugrue who have established the significance of the Black freedom struggle in the North. …
