This gentle, meditative movement practice offered attendees a chance to experience its potential benefits firsthand. Tai Chi has been shown to support balance and mobility, reduce stress, increase flexibility and strength, and even contribute to cardiovascular and cognitive health—an ideal complement to the day’s focus on aging well.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Welcome Dr. Tiffany Hensley-McBain! - Dr. Tiffany Hensley-McBain has joined the McLaughlin Research Institute as an Assistant Professor!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Hensley-McBain was born in Great Falls and received her BS in Cell Biology and Neuroscience from Montana State University. She completed her PhD at the University of Washington in Molecular and Cellular Biology and continued postdoctoral studies at the University of Washington and the University of Miami. Her research has examined the mechanisms of gastrointestinal dysfunction in HIV and pathogenic SIV infection and potential therapeutic strategies to alleviate this dysfunction. Her prior work demonstrated new connections between intestinal microbiome alternations and immune perturbations in chronic viral infection and implicated new targets for alleviating intestinal inflammation. Drawing on previous experience and expertise and integrating the multitude of available resources and mouse models at the McLaughlin Research Institute, the Dr. Hensley-McBain will focus on investigating the interconnected role of microbiome alterations and innate immune functionality in chronic diseases. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome is linked to multiple chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, how commensal bacteria and microbiome alterations impact the gastrointestinal, peripheral, and CNS immune system, particularly the innate/inflammatory cells such neutrophils and macrophages, remains largely unexamined. The goal of Dr. Hensley-McBain’s studies will be to elucidate the immune mediators that connect microbial dysbiosis to disease using mouse models and in vitro systems to inform targeted therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases and chronic viral infections. More about Dr. Hensley-McBain’s prior work and ongoing research projects can be found here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Student Volunteers 2020 - JOSEPH GUTER</image:title>
      <image:caption>Joseph Guter is a 2019 graduate from Great Falls High School and currently a sophomore at University of Chicago majoring in genetic engineering.  Joseph began working at MRI over the summers of 2018 and 2019 as one of the student interns working with Dr. Teresa Gunn and Dr. Mike Kavanaugh on SLC1A4 gene mutations that cause developmental and cognitive delays in children. As an intern, he learned a variety of techniques ranging from immunofluorescence to cloning to electrophysiology and characterized SLC1A4 mutations in a new transgenic mouse model. Joseph returned over the summer of 2020 and worked on a project funded by the State of Montana to develop and test a SARS-COV-2 pseudovirus system that can be used to assay antibodies for vaccine testing as well as drug development for therapies to prevent or treat infection.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Student Volunteers 2020 - WYATT WALTERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wyatt Walters is a 2019 graduate of Central Catholic and currently a sophomore at University of Montana. Wyatt is majoring in Biology with an emphasis on human biological sciences. He is a part of the Davidson’s Honor College and the Frankie Global Initiative. Wyatt is on the pre-med track and hopes to become a pediatrician. During Wyatt’s time at the Institute, he was trained in testing memory deficits in transgenic mice carrying mutations that cause Alzheimer’s disease. Using spatial maze assays, memory can be tested in Alzheimer’s mice and the effects of new therapeutic drugs can be evaluated by testing their effect on navigation performance. Wyatt established baseline memory functions in a familial Alzheimer’s mouse model called 5XFAD and he also began work assessing memory deficits in a mouse model for frontotemporal dementia using the Y-maze.</image:caption>

Sara has proven to be a tremendous asset for Dr. Miranda Orr's Alzheimer's disease project.  Sara is involved in every aspect of this project including conducting behavioral assessment, entering data, assisting in tissue harvests, making solutions, shipping tissues and everything in between.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Meet MRI's 2019 Summer Interns - Havilah Neujahr</image:title>
      <image:caption>Havilah Neujahr has always loved biology and is no stranger to research.  Under the supervison of her math instructor and advisor at the University of Providence, Havilah embarked upon a research project that involved classifying moles as either malignant or benign based on the ABCD classification system.  A = asymmetry, B= border irregularity, C= color, D=diameter.  Once numerical values were calculated for each classification, those numbers were run through two logistic regression models, the quadratic model and the linear model.  The output for each value was the probability of whether each more was malignant or benign.  During the process of gathering and analyzing data, Havilah discovered she loved math AND research in addition to biology.  She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Bachelor of Science in mathematics from the University of Providence.  Havilah has already earned an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Science degree from Great Falls College, MSU  Outside of her studies, Havilah tutors students in calculus, statistics, computer science, physics.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Meet MRI's 2019 Summer Interns - Gail Parambi</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gail Parambi has aspired to work in the medical field since she was a child.  Gail is currently working as an extern in the office of local neurologist, Dr. Dennis Dietrich.  She is very interested in the clinical trials underway through Dr. Dietrich’s practice and has seen first hand the everyday plight of patients with neurodegenerative diseases.  Gail has taken time to research the diseases that are part of the clinical trials so she can speak to these patients with understanding.  Gail has been intrigued by McLaughlin’s own Dr. John Mercer and his research detecting inherited cardiomyopathies. Gail is currently a senior at C.M. Russell high school.  She is involved in many activities outside of school including the varsity tennis team as well as holding an officer position in the CMR HOSA-Future Health Professional organization.  Gail also competes in tournaments around the state on the Lincoln Douglas varsity debate team.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Joseph Guter was a student intern in 2018 and returned to volunteer during the 2019 school year and through the summer. Joseph continued his work on characterizing the  SLC1A4 function and the function of two SLC1A4 mutations known to cause disease in people.  During his summer internship last summer, Joseph characterized SLC1A4 function in frog oocytes under the direction of Derek Silvius.  This year, Joseph began looking at SLC1A4 function in tissue culture using astrocyte cultures.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Normal Function of Alpha-synuclein - Normal Function of Alpha-synuclein</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fully defining the normal functions of alpha-synuclein may help in understanding its role in Parkinson's disease. In the disease, alpha-synuclein forms inclusions, aggregates of abnormally folded protein, that may sequester the protein and prevent it from performing some role that is important under stress conditions, or during aging. One of our approaches to this problem has been a mutagenesis screen in mice, asking for mutations that produce a more severe phenotype in mice that lack alpha-synuclein than in wild type control animals. We have discovered one such mutation, in the gene encoding the trans-Golgi copper transporter Atp7a. Mutations in the human ATP7a gene cause Menkes disease. We have thus discovered a function for alpha-synuclein in the mammalian ER-Golgi intracellular transport pathway, and are now studying how alpha-synuclein buffers the effects of the Atp7a mutation.Litter of mice carrying the sensitized mutation in the X-linked Atp7a gene. Mutant males are white, mutant females show a mottled coat color phenotype, and wild type littermates are agouti in color. In the absence of alpha-synuclein, Atp7a mutant females have a significantly increased rate of early death.</image:caption>
