(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
The purpose of this project is to examine the effects of components of Warrior Hops on cancer cell metabolism to better understand the mechanism of infection for SARSCoV-2. In h293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells that ...
Investigation of land management histories and fertilizer treatments on diversity of rhizobial nifH gene in the cover crop Vicia villosa (Vetch)
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
The Vicia villosa (Vetch) cover crop fixes nitrogen through symbiotic processes with soil bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae. This bacterium has a marker gene, nifH, that is part of the nitrogen-fixing enzyme. ...
Does osteoarthritis pain severity correspond more to inflammation or joint damage?
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Post traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops as a result of injury to the joint. This process involves progressive joint damage and chronic low-grade inflammation that leads to PTOA pain. This summer, I focused on damaging ...

Do Anolis lizards recognize heterospecific neighbors?
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)
Many organisms establish territories, though the reasons are varied and not always understood. Organisms that establish territories often must defend them against invaders. Territorial animals sometimes exhibit “dear enemy ...
Viral oncoprotein Tax and regulation of the HTLV promoter
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Tax, an oncoprotein virally expressed from Human T-cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV), is a transcriptional regulator with incompletely understood functions in host cells. HTLV is a retrovirus of clade deltraretroviradae with two ...
IL-4 and IL-13 synergize to increase growth and CCL4 chemokine mRNA expression by 4T1 mammary adenocarcinomal tumor cells
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Approximately, 1 in 8 women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer and 1 in 33 will die. Breast Cancer is a major health disparity for women all over the globe, having the largest impact on African American women ...
Quantifying the effect of methane production on surrounding soil atmospheric gas exchange
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)
By observing the behavior of soil microorganisms with respect to proximity to a methane production site (dairy farm lagoon), the relationship between anthropogenically manipulated atmospheric methane levels and methane ...
