The researcher looked at two prebiotics, inulin and galactooligosaccharides (GOS), for their ability to promote growth of probiotics in the Lactobacilli family in the absence of glucose. The...

A recently developed quantum mechanical model of cognition theorizes that neuronal signaling is significantly influenced by entangled Posner molecules (Ca9(PO4)6) in the brain. According to this model...

Nitrogen-metallocyclic carbenes (NMCs) are a new class of molecules to be studied in recent years that provide the capacity to be used in the development of new electronic materials or catalysts. My...

With the fast-paced evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria around the globe comes the emergence of novel genes which confer these resistances, usually located on supplemental DNA known as plasmids...

Citrus Greening Disease is a bacterial disease from the organism Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Citrus greening affects tree health as well as fruit development, ripening and quality...

Natural products are small organic molecules which are presumed to increase the overall fitness of an organism. Their synthesis is encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters wherein analogous sequences can...

The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer around the world. This oncovirus uses proteins like E7 to hijack the cell cycle by binding to cellular proteins, such as pRb. Another...

Bacteriophage lambda procapsids have shown promising uses as viral nanoparticles, as its structure allows for the possibility of drug encapsulation. The icosahedral procapsid consists of several...

Ruminants are herbivorous mammals, characterized by a pre-gastric organ, the rumen. Microbes within the rumen are responsible for feed breakdown. The rumen microbiome of livestock has been extensively...

To elucidate gene flow between hydrothermal vent communities, shrimp species Opaepele loihi and Rimicaris variabilis were sampled at the underwater Mata volcanoes near Tonga. A fragment of the...

Citrus Greening Disease is an illness caused by a bacterium that renders citrus fruit unmarketable and kills infected citrus trees. Good bacteria in the microbiota of citrus trees may produce an...

This project seeks to characterize the cellular interactions within the tumor microenvironment that lead to polarization of macrophages, away from the tumor-fighting M1 phenotype and towards the tumor...

Marine organisms commonly produce an abundance of natural products, some of which have been found to have important medicinal, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Sarcophyton glaucum is a...
