Snyder, Julia Lynn (2013-07-29)Department: Biological SciencesDissertation under the direction of Professor Bruce H. Appel Oligodendrocytes are specialized glial cells in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) that extend processes to wrap axons in myelin sheaths. Their number ...

Du, Wenyue (2013-11-19)Department: Biological SciencesFaithful DNA replication during each cell division cycle is carried out by multiprotein complexes acting at each replication fork. In this complex, DNA unwinding and synthesis activities, driven by the Mcm2-7 helicase and ...
