泰勒Engstrom & Andrea James Secure NIH Grant for Groundbreaking 研究 on Zebrafish & 视网膜中央凹发展


泰勒Engstrom (UNC Physics) and Andrea James (Biology) will work with 12 physics 以及将在本国家获得本科研究经验的生物学专业学生 眼科研究所三年跨学科项目“开发新的生物物理模型” of choroid fissure closure in zebrafish and foveal pit formation across species”. The project will address a basic research need for quantitative eye morphogenesis 经过实验数据测试的模型,可以揭示生物物理学 mechanisms during eye development. Such models will aid in treatment and prevention of developmental diseases of the eye. More additional information about this research project is available here.

生物系教授韩玉燕 & Nicholas Pullen Win UNC’s Second 2024 NIH Grant for Pioneering cbre & CBD 研究 in Fatty Liver Disease


这个项目,“大麻二酚(cbre)加或不加大麻二酚的治疗效果 (CBD) in diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease” will directly engage UNC biology students in research to evaluate the anti-inflammatory therapeutic effects CBD和cbre在减少非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)中的作用,这是一项领先的研究 慢性肝病的病因,可发展到更晚期(NASH)。 目前没有治疗. Preliminary data suggest that Cannabinoids attenuate immune 细胞招募,抑制炎症介质释放,从而减轻肝脏 饮食对小鼠造成的损害. This research will provide critical therapeutic efficacy cbre和CBD在NAFLD/NASH小鼠中的首次数据,这将受益 future cannabinoid-related animal and human studies; and provide in-depth information cbre单独或与CBD联合减少NAFLD/NASH进展的分子机制.  More additional information about this research project here.

艾米丽·霍尔特和杰西卡·杜克正在定义和衡量气候变化的接受程度 理科生


研究表明,大多数本科生接受全球气候变化正在发生; but, what does it really mean to accept climate change? 接受气候变化 在文献中没有明确定义,那么构成验收的要素是什么 and their relationships to one another are not fully understood. 这样做的目的是 NSF IUSE-Engaged Student Learning project entitled, “Developing the Acceptance of 《皇冠app官方版下载》是考察多个方面的 气候变化是本科理科(生物、化学和地球科学)的学生 接受定义. Drs. Holt and Duke will then use this knowledge to develop a novel survey that examines aspects of students’ acceptance of climate change. 他们设想 从这个项目中获得的信息将导致皇冠app安卓下载安装哪个的建议 将气候变化主题纳入本科科学课程,以解决接受问题; 最终提高学生气候变化教育的有效性. 一旦创建,该调查将免费提供给其他科学教育研究人员 exploring climate change acceptance.
