• Student Research Assistant

  • Jun 2018 - May 2019

  Worked alongside graduate students as well as post doctorates in a tissue engineering laboratory under Eric Brey, Ph. D. Our project consisted in analyzing and quantifying some scanning electron microscope images using ImageJ and Fiji softwares. Adipocytes are endocrine organs with diverse metabolic roles in regulating whole-body physiology and is a storage depot for energy. Laminin alpha 4 (LAMA4) is a protein that is located in the basement membrane in the extracellular matrix that plays an important role in fat accumulation. Recent discoveries have shown that LAMA4 null mice (KO) exhibit significantly higher energy expenditure as well as resistance to age and diet-induced obesity when compared to wild type mice (WT). The purpose of this research was to examine ECM structure from LAMA4 KO and WT mice. We found that the ECM density and fiber size was altered in matrix produced by laminin alpha 4 free cells relative to wild type cells. While diameter dimensions in both were relatively the same. The presence of ‘‘clumps’’ or fiber aggregates was also evident in the SEM images. This work provided critical information in understanding cell-ECM interactions in adipose tissue.
