-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The environmental cues for synchronous reproduction were investigated for two highly abundant, ecologically important crustacean species: the temperate acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides, and the tropical terrestrial ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)IL-7R[alpha] is one component of the heterodimeric IL-7R[alpha] receptor, and signaling through this receptor is essential for murine T and B cell development as well as human T cell development. IL-7R[alpha] signaling is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Mammalian development extends and exploits signaling pathways that function exclusively in axon guidance in lower organisms. This emerging paradigm employs complex expression patterns of expanded protein families to achieve ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The purpose of this thesis is to study campanulariid life cycle evolution and systematics. The Campanulariidae is a hydrozoan family with many life cycle variations, and provide an excellent model system to study life cycle ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Blooms of toxic species within the algal dinoflagellate species complex Alexandrium tamarense may cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, a significant and growing environmental threat worldwide. However, blooms of closely ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The last century of biology brought a revolution to our understanding of life at the molecular level; the last decade, a widening re-evaluation of the claim that understanding gained in vitro could reflect the true ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Huntington's Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein. This mutation leads to conformational instability, resulting in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Cells sense and respond to their environment by maintaining appropriate activity levels and localizations of key signaling proteins. In eukaryotic cells, cell size is increasingly appreciated as being coordinated by the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In cell division, the proper segregation of chromosomes requires sister-chromatid cohesion. This physical attachment between sister chromatids is established during DNA replication, maintained throughout mitosis and released ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Long-lasting changes must take place in the brain to store the skills and memories that have been learned by the organism throughout its history. Long-term memory (LTM), and its cellular correlate, the late-phase of long-term ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Efficient transport of proteins to the correct intracellular compartment is critical for maintaining the functional integrity of the cell. Proteins destined for export from the ER are sorted from ER resident proteins and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The essential role of classical MHC molecules in T cell development as well as the proteasome role in antigen processing for MHC-mediated antigen presentation to T cells is well established. However, the contribution of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The untranslated region (UTR) at the 30 end of a mammalian mRNA is typically rich with regulatory motifs that influence the stability, localization, translation and other properties of the message. We explored two classes ...
