Fluorescent Peptide Biosensor for Probing the Relative Abundance of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Living Cells by Laetitia Kurzawa (201196)

“…This peptide biosensor technology affords direct and sensitive readout of CDK/cyclin complex levels, and reports on differences in complex formation when tampering with a single CDK or cyclin. CDKSENS further allows for detection of differences between different healthy and cancer cell lines, thereby enabling to distinguish cells that express high levels of these heterodimeric kinases, from cells that present decreased or defective assemblies. …”

Table_1_Determinants of Neural Plastic Changes Induced by Motor Practice.docx by Wen Dai (1607932)

“…None of the four tasks showed any temporary changes in behavior, meaning no learning occurred. Motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude increased only after the FG and it exhibited a positive correlation with the MEP increase after PAS25, suggesting that FG and PAS25 share at least similar plasticity mechanisms in the M1. …”

Advanced control of codling moth (Cydia pomonella) using the beneficial nematode Steinernema carpocapsae in apple and pear orchards in the Pacific North West by Stephanie Haines (9726395)

“…Few biological control options are available, and the ones currently on the market, (e.g. viruses, plant extracts, and pheromones) tend to target 1^st instar larvae and adults. A promising means of decreasing codling moth populations is entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), specifically the species <i>Steinernema carpocapsae </i>(<i>Sc</i>)<i>, </i>which was originally isolated from codling moth larvae. …”
