Proprioception provides unique sensory feedback about the body’s orientation in space and this sensation is essential for creating specific motor functions and coordinated movement. During neurogenesis, unique genetic markers are expressed and classified as early, transient/middle, and late markers depending on their timing of expression. This study focuses on the expression patterns of two late markers: Heg1 and B3galt2. We investigated how expression of these two markers respond to peripheral nerve injury (PNI). We cloned and generated riboprobes to detect expression of B3galt2 and Heg1 in DRGs using in situ hybridization after transection of the sciatic nerve. B3galt2 hybridization in …

Keratinocytes are cells that largely occupy the epidermis layer of our skin and function to protect against DNA damage induced by ultraviolet radiation. Keratinocytes rely on the activation of the IGF-1 receptor in order to carry out an appropriate response to UV-B radiation. Keratinocytes themselves do not express the IGF-1 ligand; IGF-1 is produced by fibroblasts found in the dermis layer of the skin. With age, fibroblasts become senescent and this interferes with their ability to produce IGF-1 for the epidermal IGF-1R. This occurrence may aid in understanding why geriatric individuals are at greatest risk for developing nonmelanoma skin cancers, …

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), is globally prevalent source of disability for the elderly. This degenerative malady progresses with age and has no cure. It manifests in gait changes and affects overall quality of life. Exercise therapy has been shown to improve knee joint range of motion, stiffness and pain due to KOA. This improvement is due in part to the direct relationship between muscle strength and joint stability. The purpose of this study is to examine how a passive range of motion (ROM) exercises and stretching regimens affect gait-alterations and associated pain from KOA experienced during walking. Nine KOA subjects were …
