Although prostaglandins (PGs)—lipid signals produced downstream of cyclooxygenase (COX)
enzymes—regulate actin cytoskeletal dynamics, their mechanisms of action are unknown…

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent side effect of widely
used platinum-based anticancer agents. There are few predictable risk factors with which to …

Drosophila oogenesis provides a developmental system with which to study nuclear actin.
During Stages 5–9, nuclear actin levels are high in the oocyte and exhibit variation within the …

Regenerative medicine as a field has emerged as a new component of modern medicine
and medical research that encompasses a wide range of products including cellular and …

Fascin, a highly conserved actin-bundling protein, localizes and functions at new cellular
sites in both Drosophila and multiple mammalian cell types. During Drosophila follicle …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are lipid signaling molecules with numerous physiologic functions,
including pain/inflammation, fertility, and cancer. PGs are produced downstream of …

Drosophila melanogaster has recently been developed as a simple, in vivo, genetic model
of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Flies treated with the chemotherapy agent …

Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) increase interest in STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics) research and careers. UREs are utilized as recruitment …
