The human papillomavirus (HPV) contains hundreds of serotypes that have been divided into low-risk versus high-risk variants. Whereas low-risk serotypes have been shown to cause benign skin lesions...

Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancers. This study establishes a protocol for the expression of a host-cell protein domain targeted by HPV. This...

Abstract: Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome, also known as Whiplash, is a very common cervical spine injury that has annual costs in the United States higher than all cancer and...

The idea for this study came from the shortage of research that has been done to understand the evolution instruction provided by new secondary education teachers. A lack of training in teachers can...

The purpose of this study arose from a pilot-study problem observed of acceptance of microevolution among those who identified as holding a creationist worldview or as having misgivings about the...

The objective of this study was to determine transfer frequencies of multidrug resistance plasmids under different conjugation conditions: liquid cultures, batch biofilms, and drip-flow biofilms...

Bacteriophage lambda procapsids have shown promising uses as viral nanoparticles, as its structure allows for the possibility of drug encapsulation. The icosahedral procapsid consists of several...

To elucidate gene flow between hydrothermal vent communities, shrimp species Opaepele loihi and Rimicaris variabilis were sampled at the underwater Mata volcanoes near Tonga. A fragment of the...

Gastropod Ifremeria nautilei was collected at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes near Tonga to investigate gene flow and population structure between and within vent...

This study assesses the effectiveness of music as a teaching tool for science classrooms. Average test scores across three assessments were compared in two sixth grade classrooms to determine if...

This study analyzes the impact of hydropathy on high- and low-risk serotypes of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). A review and categorization of HPV serotypes was performed alongside an investigation of...

A population genetic study of brittle stars was conducted in the Gulf of Mexico to study patterns of gene flow and population structure. Mitochondrial DNA from 85 samples was extracted, amplified, and...

Evolution by natural selection is foundational in biology, yet decades of science education research have shown that common alternative conceptions often persist after college biology instruction...

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) encodes a cancer-causing protein, E7, that degrades a known tumor suppressor retinoblastoma (pRb). This project studied the role of polarity in high-risk HPV16 E7...

Bacteriophage λ procapsids as effective drug transporters provide promising means of patient care and treatment within the medical field with implications in targeted drug delivery. The 3D icosahedral...

Canis latrans, or the coyote, is a resilient species whose populations are currently expanding into Central America potentially creating harmful repercussions for local wildlife. The increasing...

The ELOVL4 enzyme is required to generate very long-chain fatty acids with structural and functional importance in the retina. Genetic defects in ELOVL4 are responsible for Stargardt’s disease...

Bacteriophage Lambda is a complex virus containing a capsule-like structure known as a procapsid. In a lab setting, plasmids are used to synthesize these structures, but previous experimentation has...

Research on higher education in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is virtually absent (Zavale & Schneijderberg, 2020). Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs are being...

Kava is a tranquilizing beverage from the South Pacific Islands that contains lipophilic compounds called kavalactones. Ingestion of these compounds is known to produce sedative and anxiolytic effects...

Hannibal Bank is a biodiversity hotspot off the Pacific coast of Panama. Using the AUV SeaBED, 12 photo-transects of the seafloor systematically captured over 21,712 images during a research cruise in...

Bony fish are the most primitive vertebrates to possess an adaptive immune system. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is one example of these bony fish, which means they have an immune system similar to that...

Macrophages are able to polarize from a basal, naïve state to an M1 or M2 phenotype. M1 pro-inflammatory macrophages are characterized by recognizing and eliminating abnormal cells, while M2 anti...
