The increase in juvenile arrests for violent crime over the past several decades has resulted in stricter and harsher legislation regarding juvenile transfer. The legislation has taken much of the discretion away from ...
Myogenesis is a tightly regulated process resulting in unique structures called myotubes or myofibers, which compose skeletal muscle. Myotubes are multi-nucleated fibers containing a functional unit composed of cytoskeletal ...
The fungus Neurospora crassa, like most fungi, is very metabolically flexible. N. crassa metabolizes ammonia as a preferred nitrogen source, but has the ability to metabolize other nitrogen sources when the need arises. ...
Wangielle dermatitdis, a dematiaceous fungus, exhibits three distinct morphologies: monliform or true hyphae, unicellular budding yeasts, or multicellular forms. This study was set up to establish a proteomic protein ...
Neurospora crassa possesses characteristics that make an ideal model for eukaryotic organisms. N. crassa metabolizes preferred carbon sources such as dextrose, but has the ability to metabolize less preferred carbon sources ...
Penicillium marneffei is a dimorphic fungus, prevalent in Southeast Asia, and responsible for opportunistic infection in immunocomprimised individuals. Differentiation of the organism is induced by temperature. At 25° C ...
Our lab uses the C2C12 myoblastic cell line in studies of muscle development, or myogenesis. Recent studies investigated the role of the large muscle protein titin, and the small carbohydrate-binding protein galectin in ...
The Ascomycete fungus, Neurospora crassa, has been used for over 90 years as an ideal model organism in a variety of fields ranging from genetics to molecular biology. N. crassa is able to use multiple different carbon ...
A multimetal resistant strain of Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) grew in the presence of 40mM selenite and demonstrated the ability to transform it into a red precipitate. Established growth curve studies in M-9 minimal ...

Wangiella dermatitidis is a pathogenic fungus capable of expressing three distinct
modes of cellular development. These forms include yeast, multicellular, and mould
phases. In particular, the latter two morphologies are ...

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of producing a wide range of
industrially important enzymes and antibiotics; making it a perfect subject for proteomicdrug
analysis. Here, B. subtilis will be grown ...
Penicillium marneffei is a pathogenic fungus with the unique characteristic of dimorphism. When grown at 25°C, it grows in the mold phase, while at 37°C it takes on characteristic of a yeast. Humans can be infected with ...
These studies were designed to gain a better understanding of the complex cellular processes involved in the regulation of erectile tissue by generating an extensive profile of the proteins present in the smooth muscle ...
The world consumption of energy is increasing at an exponential rate. Furthermore, the availability of our fuel of choice, fossil fuels, is declining, with estimates that reserves will be gone within fifty years. As such, ...
The biochemical investigative approach of Proteomics has been utilized in the study of the mechanism of action of antibiotics like Triclosan (Trade name - Irgasan) on a model bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. By differential ...
A protest march was staged on the YSU campus core to express outrage at the failure of the administration to renew the contract of Ron Daniels, an instructor in the Social Sciences Department. The protest was peaceful.
The Reverend Albert L. Linder, YU's Protestant chaplain for 18 years, resigned effective April 1, 1966. Though he enjoyed his time at the university, Linder informed the Youngstown Council of Churches that a younger spiritual ...
Protests staged by angry Arabs--including Palestiniansand Iranians--brought attention to a lecture given by Abba Eban, the former Israeli foreign minister.
