The Possible Role of Cysteine Synthesis in E. Coli Mastitis
Full text linkClinical mastitis is an infection of the udders of dairy cows
Mastitis is the leading cause of economic losses to the dairy industry
E. coli is the most common cause of clinical mastitis (Gonçalves)
Genetic factors may affect the ability for E. coli to establish an infection
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can detect genetic variants correlating with disease. However, most GWASes aren’t validated experimentallyhttps://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1066/thumbnail.jp
Research Process toward the Creation of Transgenic Beetles
Full text linkCreate a generalized efficient procedure for the reliable creation of transgenic insects.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1058/thumbnail.jp
Majority of NCAA Div. 1 Football Players at BYU Demonstrate Patellar Tendon Blood Flow Post-Exercise
Full text linkPatellar tendinopathy is a frequent overuse injury among collegiate athletes, especially in football players, due to the intense strain on the patellar tendon. Power Doppler Imaging (PDI) is an effective way to analyze blood flow (BF) within the tendon and correlates to patellar tendinopathy and pain. A healthy and normal tendon should have a score of 0 on a modified Oberg scale.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1045/thumbnail.jp

Full text linkAI-driven search tools make gene expression data easier to find, which could revolutionize research.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1035/thumbnail.jp
Frog Barcodes: Scanning the Secret Species of Pelodryadinae
Full text linkTree frogs (Hylidae) have unique adaptations such as toe pads for life in the trees (figure 1).
The subfamily Pelodryadinae is poorly known and primarily found in the Australopapuan region.
Papua New Guinea is the island with the greatest frog diversity but many species remain undescribed.
DNA barcoding has been shown to be an effective tool in species delimitation and for examining species diversity in poorly understood groups.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1033/thumbnail.jp
Engineering Chimeric Autoantibody Receptor T cells (CAAR): a potential cure for Graves\u27 Disease
Full text linkGraves’ Disease (GD) is the 4th most common autoimmune disease in the United States. GD is characterized by autoreactive B cells releasing anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) Ab that bind to TSHR, causing an overexpression of hormones. Excessive hormonal release leads to hyperthyroidism, causing a variety of metabolic issues. No cure exists, only limited effectiveness of treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, or thyroidectomy. Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T cell therapy has been effective in treating blood cancers. Modifying this therapy by engineering T cells that replace the antigen as the T cell receptor will selectively target autoreactive B cells, namely chimeric autoantibody receptor (CAAR) T cell therapy. By using TSHR as the binding domain, we believe that our CAAR T cell that will be able to eliminate anti-TSHR B cells in GD.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/library_studentposters_2025/1020/thumbnail.jp

“Not Only Men but Women Also” An Argument for Alma’s Intentional Inclusion of Women
Full text linkIn an interestingly specific inclusion of women, Alma taught the Zoramites that “[God] imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also” (Alma 32:23). This phrase suggests that Alma had an awareness of women and their ability to receive revelation despite how little the Book of Mormon explicitly includes women in its narrative.1 The Book of Mormon mentions women at drastically lower rates than even the Bible.2 Some students of the Book of Mormon are concerned not only that women are rarely spoken of in the text but also that women may have been ignored or disregarded as part of the intended audience.3 The loudest of the concerns stem from two preeminent issues: (1) the lack of female representation in the text and (2) the book’s frequent use of gender-exclusive (masculine) language
James Walks Home from Nain
Full text linkA pleasant place, he thinks as they descend the steep hill where sparrows dance, making their way among the tombs that line their narrow path. He imagines the lives and dreams of the inhabitants of these stone rooms. The way their voices have flown like leaves, the way they abide like trees
“Struck with Wonder and Amazement” On Reading the Book of Mosiah
Full text linkThe Wonder of Scripture”: that’s the title of this lecture series.1 Book of Mormon scholar that I am, that title draws my mind to a passage in our keystone scripture. It’s a passage where the word “wonder” is used in connection with people’s responses to sacred records—to scripture. Tucked away somewhere most of us wouldn’t think to look, the Book of Mormon stages a remarkable scene that’s precisely about the wonder of scripture. I can’t help seeing that as just a little too appropriate, so I’d like to examine that scene. I’m going to argue that Mormon, serving simultaneously in his role as prophet of the Lord and in his role as literary architect, intends for readers of that scene to reflect on whether they’re responding in the right way to the written word of God.2 This intention is only subtly present in the text; Mormon does this particular literary work delicately. Yet his literary intention can, I think, be brought out with some real spiritual force. And for my money, seeing what Mormon does in this passage, both prophetically and literarily, might teach us much about what it means to recognize the wonder of scripture.
