Description: Pomacea maculata is invading Florida’s freshwater ecosystems. P. maculata is potentially competing with native Pomacea paludosa. However very little work has looked at the consumption behavior to Vallisneria americana. V. Americana, a restoration plant used by resource managers provides important habitat to nursery species. This study examines P. maculata and P. paludosa’s rate of physical,… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Digital Library
Description: Studies in geriatrics have found that the second and fourth digit (of the hand) ratio (2D:4D), an indicator of in utero androgen exposure, shows significantly negative correlation with muscle mass (MM) and muscle strength (MS). In my thesis research, I examined correlations between 2D:4D ratio and the MM and MS of college students and compared the results to previous geriatric studies in order to… more

Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Casciato, Dominick Joseph
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Digital Library
Description: Experience plays a critical role in maturation of cortical circuits. In visual cortex, experience-dependent development has been linked to the maturation of inhibitory interneurons. Parvalbumin-containing (PV+) interneurons, a subtype of GABAergic interneurons, play an important role in cortical circuit function; however, it remains unknown how visual experience shapes their organization. We… more

Quantification and Analysis of Cancer-Cell Derived Exosomes
Type: Text

Contributors: Iragavarapu-Charyulu, Vijaya, Keating, Patricia, Urdaneta, Alexandra
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis. Tumor-cell derived extracellular vesicles or exosomes are thought to contribute to metastasis. However, there is no standardized method to isolate exosomes. We hypothesize that polymer-based kits, in particular ExoQuick-TC (EQTC), may be better for isolating exosomes when compared to ultracentrifugation. In this study, we used three… more
