Performed skeletal muscle dissection in mice and rats to acquire gastrocnemius muscle tissue to be used for imaging and trichrome staining. Measured trichrome staining to quantify the difference in muscle, cartilage and fibrosis tissue to determine if a Kynurenine treatment was effective at inhibiting Kynurenine inhibitory effects on muscle regeneration Measured the circumference of myofibers in elderly mice to determine if increased expression of Kynurenine inhibited muscle regeneration Estimated central nuclei distribution in myofiber cells in elderly mice to assess the effects of age on the regeneration of muscle tissue.

Extracted femurs to acquire bone marrow that was differentiated into macrophages and dendritic cells to be used in atherosclerotic studies Determine if macropinocytosis is performed in HepG2 cells and if they contribute to the development of Non-Alcoholic fatty liver disease Utilized confocal microscope imaging to determine if PMA activates macropinocytosis in HepG2 cells Performed FACS experiments to determine the incubation and concentration of TSP-1, PKC, or PMA required to initiate macropinocytosis in macrophages, dendritic cells, and HepG2 cells. Extracted the distending aorta and used Oil red staining to visualize fatty streaks in high cholesterol feed diet APOe -/- knockout mice and WT mice for a comparative study Performed FACS experiments to determine which isoform of PKC activates macropinocytosis in macrophages Utilized confocal microscope imaging to acquire live images of TSP-1 and PKC activating macropinocytosis in macrophages. Performed qPCR to determine if co-incubating macrophages with TSP1 for 48 and 72 hrs. would affect the Cal and Cav gene expression.
