can lead to increased cellular proliferation and decreased apoptosis. Predictably, thioredoxin has also been shown to be overly expressed in cancerous cells, particularly the most malignant (e.g., pancreatic, liver and breast). We are currently working towards a small molecule inhibitor developed to target TrxR1, the only known enzyme that reduces and activates thioredoxin. Current research suggests that inhibition of TrxR1 leads to decreased cancer cell fitness through interaction with the

Bryant’s mother, Chris Tarling, was less surprised by Bryant’s desire to help. “I think about her high school years, she was involved with community service,” said Tarling. “She was also involved in the Miss Washington Pageant for a few years and community service was a big part of that.” Tarling helped Bryant plan last month’s fundraiser and has heard all about the need

Ricky Haneda ‘22 was Grahe’s teaching assistant for the Statistics 232 course last year. Students in the class assisted with the data collection, and Haneda stepped up as the lead author of the 43-page paper, Predicting Attitudes toward COVID-19 Vaccinations: Early Stages of the Pandemic in the United States. “There was certainly more of a gravity to the study, knowing the world is going through a pandemic and knowing that this study could make an impact on the academic world,” Haneda said.

It is important to lead a fit and balanced life, of course, but what works for any given individual varies widely—which is one reason PLU offers such a wide range of P.E. options. As a second-semester senior, I have completed all of my P.E. requirements by now. While I’ve been a student, I have taken Sailing, Scuba Diving and Yoga. PLU also offers courses such as Jazz Dance, Step
