Assessing the Global Metabolic Response of Encapsulated Chondrocytes to Simulated Microgravity
Cooper, Gwendolyn (2021)Space sojourns are crucial for understanding aeronautics, physics, the solar system, and evaluating the possibility of interplanetary travel. However, there are many potential health risks associated with space travel such ... -
Creating an In Vitro Protocol to Analyze the Effects of Microgravity on Chondrocyte Metabolism: A Pilot Study
Viles, Ethan (2021)The effects of spaceflight on astronaut health have been of great importance for human space flight, and long-term space flight will require a better understanding of the physiological effect microgravity has on the human ... -
Global Metabolomic Profiles and Viability of Encapsulated Chondrocytes Exposed to Short-Term Simulated Microgravity
Bergstrom, Annika (2022)Shifts from physiological loading conditions, such as overloading or reduced loading, can lead to an imbalance that increases catabolic pathways resulting in cartilage degeneration consistent with that of osteoarthritis ... -
Global Metabolomic Profiles of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease in In-Vitro Renal Microcysts
Miller, Delaney (2021)Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a progressive genetic disease characterized by the formation of bilateral fluid-filled cysts on the kidneys. It is one of the most common forms of chronic kidney ... -
The influence of antimicrobial peptides, cutaneous microbial communities and water quality on the susceptibility of Columbia spotted frogs (Lithobates luteiventris) to Chytridiomycosis
Burrows, Delaney (2020)Chytridiomycosis is a potentially deadly skin disease found in amphibian populations worldwide. The disease is caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) which grows on the skin of amphibians. The fungus can ...
