Behavioral assessment of mouse models of neurodegenerative disorders [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
in associative learning abilities. To determine whether this is the case, we compared the ability of affected and normal mice to associate the presence of light with a food reward using a T-maze. Mice in 5-7 week, 9-11 week, and 14-15 week age cohorts for both...
Developing an implantable optical glucose sensor for monitoring glucose concentration [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Optical biological sensors are becoming very popular for use in detecting many different kinds of analytes of interest for medical diagnostics. There are optical sensors available today to detect many things from blood ...
Ischemia-induced increase in the expression of the regulators of G-protein signaling subtype7 (RGS7) in gerbil hippocampus [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
is a brain region responsible for learning and memory and one of its subregion called CA1 is the most vulnerable area to ischemic damage in the brain. Neurons in other hippocampal subregions, especially in CA3 and in the dentate gyrus, will survive...
Selective migration of neuralized mouse embryonic stem cells towards tumor cells and conditioned media [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
.05, respectively). Even though there is a decrease in the motility of the stem cells, they are more specific towards the target. Presently, we are doing immunolabeling with nestin, beta-3-tubulin, GFAP, and TuJ1 to observe the fate of the ES cells as they undergo...
