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.

Fall 2022
Menisci are fibrocartilaginous structures of the knee that function in mechanical load transmission to protect articular cartilage from forces that may initiate osteoarthritic changes. A population of cells responsible for regulating the tissues’ biomechanical properties are meniscus...

Fall 2022
Background: Hypertrophic scars (HTS) are a dermal fibroproliferative disorder that commonly occurs following burn injury. Due to the intricate nature of the wound healing process and an incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in HTS formation, current treatments have...

Fall 2012
Establishing mixed hematopoietic chimerism is a promising approach to develop donor-specific tolerance to transplanted organs. Establishing tolerance may eliminate the need for long-term immunosuppressive therapy, prevent chronic rejection and in the case of Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM), reverse...

Detection of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Provides Important Diagnostic and Prognostic Information in Oropharyngeal Cancer
DownloadFall 2024
The prevalence of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) -related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is increasing worldwide. The standard for HPV diagnosis is based on p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissues, as a surrogate marker for HPV oncogenesis in clinical and trial settings...

Determination of Cryoprotectant Behavior, Physiological and Anatomical Characterization of the Porcine Meniscus as a Model for Future Meniscal Vitrification Studies
DownloadSpring 2016
The menisci hold significant, protective biomechanical function in the human knee and loss of meniscal functions have been linked to the development of osteoarthritis. Currently, irreparable or non-salvageable meniscal injuries undergo partial or total removal of injured menisci to alleviate...

Developing clinically translatable chimerism induction protocols in a stringent murine model
DownloadSpring 2020
Allogeneic hematopoietic chimerism induction via bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is thus far the most robust method for inducing donor antigen specific tolerance to allogeneic grafts. However, limited by the toxicity of the reagents used in conditioning the recipients, the demand of a high dose...
