This paper discusses research on how acetylcholine-containing neuroepithelial cells in fish gills support the cholinergic hypothesis of O2 chemoreception.

Presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on acetylcholine-containing neuroepithelial cells in fish gills.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas. This poster discusses research on antibiotic resistant bacteria emerging from the agricultural industry.

This article includes a proteomics analysis of Lipid Droplets (LDs) isolated from drought-stressed Arabidopsis leaves and identifying EARLY RESPONSIVE TO DEHYDRATION 7 (ERD7) as a putative LD protein. Observations provide new insight to ERD7 and the SD-containing family of proteins in plants and suggest that ERD7 may be involved in functional aspects of plant stress response that also include localization to the LD surface.

This book chapter provides an overview of the genomics and postgenomic technologies that are likely to have the greatest impacts on agronomy over the next 10-20 years and describes a number of case studies of their application.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas. This poster discusses research on a comparison of infant mortality rates in the United States and Canada and discusses the impact of universal healthcare.

Article describes the Streptomyces sanglieri bacteriophages AxeJC, Cumberbatch, Eastland,Eklok, HFrancette, Ignacio, Piccadilly, and Vondra form a novel actinobacteriophage cluster,BP. These siphoviruses have circularly permuted genomes with an average size of 37,700 bp and a GC content of 71%. Each genome contains approximately 58 protein-coding genes, with no tRNAs.

This article explores the connection between thyroid hormones (THs) and immune systems in fish. This article is noteworthy as disruption of the thyroid system during development, which can occur in response to chemicals present in the environment, may have lasting effects on immune function in adulthood for fish.

This article presents research on genetic and biochemical analyses that shows ANR has dual activity and is involved not only in the production of (−)-epicatechin starter units but also in the formation of 2,3-cis-leucocyanidin to serve as (−)-epicatechin extension units. The results find that differences in the product specificities of ANRs account for the presence/absence of PA polymerization and the compositions of PAs across plant species

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on the effect of hair dye on consumers and allergies and cancer risks.

Paper discussing research on the effect of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations on tropomyosin structure.

Article presents comparative biomass, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses between a high oil accession (HO) and low oil accession (LO) of pennycress to assess potential factors required to optimize oil content.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on the effects of different exercise types on sleep in patients with chronic primary insomnia.

Presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on the effects of progesterone and synthetic derivatives in Fathead Minnow (Pimphales promelas) embryos.

This article studies the differentiation of human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells into the cardiomyocyte lineage via epigenetic manipulations.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing adaptation to protein structure in response to high hydrostatic pressure.

Article on heterodimeric geranyl(geranyl)diphosphate synthase from hop (Humulus lupulus) and the evolution of monoterpene biosynthesis.

Presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on mycobacteriophage.

Presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on hypoxic effects on contraction of the ductus arteriosus (DA) in the chicken embryo.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on Tayloria mirabilis spore dispersal via insect in Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile.

Poster for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing research on whether the consumption of frozen food is detrimental to health.

This paper discusses research on mycobacteriophage (phage) timshel.

Poster presentation for the 2011 University Scholars Day at the University of North Texas discussing a research initiative to isolate, purify, and archive information on multiple Mycobacteriophages.

This article investigates if the widespread use of magnesium in fibromyalgia is supported by evidence in the literature. This review provides a layout of the studies examining the correlation between body magnesium levels and fibromyalgia and elaborates on the trials testing the effectiveness of magnesium in treating different clinical parameters of fibromyalgia.
