This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Novel Roles of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Mitochondrial and Endoplasmic/Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Dysregulation
DownloadFall 2024
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a ubiquitous multifunctional protease that cleaves both extracellular and intracellular proteins. MMP-2 is synthesized as an inactive zymogen. It is rapidly activated inside the cell in response to oxidative stress during different cardiac pathologies such as...

Role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in sarcoplasmic reticulum dysfunction during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
DownloadSpring 2019
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an intra- and extra-cellular protease which is activated during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, namely peroxynitrite. Upon its activation, MMP-2 impairs cardiac contractility by cleaving sarcomeric and...
