Dr. Luderer’s lab showed that irradiation of adult female mice with heavy iron ions, typical of deep space radiation exposures during a Mars mission, led to a four-fold increase in epithelial ovarian tumors in late middle…
Diabetes is often associated with loss of insulin-producing beta cells that reside in the pancreas. The Parsons lab is interested in learning how to make replacement beta cells. The zebrafish is a particularly valuable animal…

Successful tumor cells must develop strategies to grow even in the face of famine. Tumors do not have enough blood vessels to keep all the cancer cells well fed, and the blood vessels that are…
During development, a fertilized egg divides many, many times to create the cells that will form the adult animal. To create different cell types, e.g. neurons and muscle cells, each cell expresses different combinations of…
