Teaching molecular genetics using <i>Paramecium</i> and RNA interference: research-based learning and project ownership Open
Research-based course design is beneficial to both the instructor and the students by providing project ownership, independence, increased engagement, and publishable results. Paramecium , a single-celled eukaryote, is a common organism ob…

Transcriptomic Profiling MicroRNA and Non-Coding RNA from Whole Blood in African Americans with MASLD Open
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing health concern, yet the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), in its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In this pilot study, we ai…

Correlates and Covariates of Type 2 Diabetes in an African American Population in the Washington DC Area Open
In the United States, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) disproportionately affects the African American (AA) community, which has not been systematically included in molecular studies of underlying mechanisms. As part of a gene expression st…

Signature Genes for Type 2 Diabetes in an African American Population Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Diabetes disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minority populations. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is viewed as an outcome of the interaction of environmental and biological risk factors. Our previous studies estab…
