Advancing in vitro fish alternatives for regulatory ecotoxicity testing
Scott, Justin (2023-05)While fish toxicity testing methods have been vital in predicting toxicity of pollutants dissolved in water, advancements with in vitro ecotoxicological techniques have continued to gained momentum. In vitro alternatives ... -
Effects of Copper upon Lateral Line Neuromasts in Xenopus laevis
Krupa, Paige (2019-07)Fish and aquatic amphibians possess the lateral line, a sensory system used to detect water displacements. Copper is known to inactivate the neuromast organs of the lateral line system. This study investigated copper-induced ... -
Evaluation of the effect of silver and silver nanoparticles on the function of selenoproteins using an in-vitro model of the fish intestine: The cell line RTgutGC
Chanda, Debarati (2019-12)The long-term adverse effects of silver (Ag) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) on human and environmental health is a concern. Moreover, recent research in mammalian cells has clearly indicated detrimental inhibitory effects ... -
Honors research thesis: Effect of PFAS on lipid homeostasis and cell viability in RTL-W1 cells
Koons, Brice (2022-04-29)Perfluoroalkyl substances are compounds commonly used in waterproofing products such as Teflon and Scotch Guard. These compounds are pervasive in the environment and persistent in organisms, leading to negative health ... -
Metal speciation’s role in toxicity, bioavailability, and bio-reactivity in the rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) gut cell line (RTgutGC)
Oldham, Dean (2020-12)The bioavailability of metal complexes is poorly understood. To evaluate the bioavailability and toxicity of neutral, and charged metal complexes, as well as free metal ions, Visual Minteq, a chemical equilibrium model, ... -
Playing chicken: At the intersection of anthropogenic development and lesser prairie-chickens
Unger, Ashley Marie (2017-12)Ecology and natural history have long documented the spatial arrangement of organisms over time. Our definition of space and time, or scale, will determine what ecological relationships we are able to detect between organisms ...
