Changes In The Testes Following Spinal Cord Injury And The Attenuating Effects Of Licofelone, Ryan Fortune
Changes In The Testes Following Spinal Cord Injury And The Attenuating Effects Of Licofelone, Ryan Fortune
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
Spinal cord injury is a devastating disease that researchers have had very limited success in treating. In addition to interrupted innervation, spinal cord injury causes pathologic changes in a multitude of organ systems. Male infertility is one such complication that is particularly devastating because the patient population is predominantly young men. Our lab has previously shown that the blood testis barrier breaks down after spinal cord injury. This dissertation shows the local metabolomic and mRNA changes that spinal cord injury causes within the testes using a Sprague Dawley rat model, including the elevation in eicosanoids, increased oxidative stress, chronically elevated …
Gene Expression Profiling In An Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model, Matthew R. Dalton
Gene Expression Profiling In An Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model, Matthew R. Dalton
Senior Honors Theses
Explaining precisely how Alzheimer’s disease (AD)—the world’s most common form of dementia—materializes in the human brain has proven to be one of the most elusive ends in modern medicine. Progressive memory loss, neurodegeneration, and the presence of abnormal protein aggregates of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) characterize this disease. Genome sequencing provides researchers with the ability to better identify disease-related changes in gene expression, some of which may play a role in the initiation and progression toward the AD-like state. Intimate interactions between tissues have been observed in many diseases, particularly between the brain and blood. This analysis seeks …
Analysis Of Differential Mrna And Mirna Expression In An Alzheimer’S Disease Mouse Model, Amanda Hazy, Matthew Dalton
Analysis Of Differential Mrna And Mirna Expression In An Alzheimer’S Disease Mouse Model, Amanda Hazy, Matthew Dalton
Other Undergraduate Scholarship
Research has shown that changes in gene expression play a critical role in the development of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Our project will evaluate genome-wide RNA expression patterns from brain and blood in an AD mouse model. This analysis will provide insight regarding the mechanisms of AD pathology as well as determine a possible diagnostic tool utilizing RNA expression patterns found in the blood as biomarkers for AD.
