KLK6 promotes survival of Jurkat T cells in part by slowing the apoptotic cascade. by Isobel A. Scarisbrick (354022)

“…<p>To address the effect of KLK6 on apoptosis, Jurkat T cells were grown under resting conditions (A), or in the presence of apoptosis inducing agents (B to D), then labeled with Annexin V-PE and 7AAD prior to flow cytometry. Under resting conditions (A), and in the presence of camptothecin (B, 1.0 µM), ConA (C, 5 µg/ml), or ConA plus camptothecin (D), KLK6 (10 µg/ml) promoted an increase in the percentage of live cells (unlabeled) and a decrease in the percentage of dead cells (Annexin V⁺ and 7AAD⁺) at both acute (4 hr), subacute (24 hr), and in some cases the more chronic time point examined (48 hr). …”

Measured Physical Activity Age by Chirag Patel (12240839)

“…We performed a genome wide association on the accelerated aging phenotypes to estimate its heritability (h_g2=12.3±0.9%) and identified ten single nucleotide polymorphisms in close proximity to genes in a histone and olfactory cluster on chromosome six (e.g <em>HIST1H1C, OR5V1</em>). Similarly, we identified biomarkers (e.g blood pressure), clinical phenotypes (e.g chest pain), diseases (e.g hypertension), environmental (e.g smoking), and socioeconomic (e.g income and education) variables associated with accelerated aging. …”

Impact of Material Shade and Distance from Light Curing Unit Tip on the Depth of Polymerization of Composites by André L. Faria-e-Silva (4628758)
