    • The role of AKAP350 splice variants in cellular stress response 
      Mason, Twila Annette (2013-11-08)
      Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
      Every organism experiences stress, which occurs when there is a perturbation of homeostasis. Individual cells experience stress throughout their physiological processes and have developed many mechanisms to cope with that ...
    • The Role of Cathepsin Proteases in Reovirus Pathogenesis 
      Johnson, Elizabeth Rose Meade (2009-09-25)
      Department: Microbiology and Immunology
      The cathepsin family of endosomal proteases is required for proteolytic processing of several viruses during entry into host cells. Mammalian reoviruses utilize cathepsins B, L, and S for disassembly of the virus outer ...
    • The role of insulin and Akt in the regulation of the norepinephrine transporter and monoamine homeostasis 
      Robertson, Sabrina Elizabeth (2010-07-15)
      Department: Neuroscience
      Monoamine signaling in the central nervous system plays an essential role in circuits involving attention, mood, memory, and stress as well as providing pivotal support for autonomic function in the peripheral nervous ...
    • The role of the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in viral filamentous assembly 
      Shaikh, Fyza Yusuf (2012-06-04)
      Department: Microbiology and Immunology
      Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a single-stranded RNA virus in the Paramyxoviridae family that is a leading cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants and the elderly. RSV preferentially assembles and buds from ...
    • Topics on a Logarithmic Diffusion Equation 
      Liao, Naian (2014-05-27)
      Department: Mathematics
      In this thesis, we prove the existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a logarithmic diffusion equation can be established when the boundary datum satisfies a certain condition. We also show that if the boundary ...
