Profiling and Identification of Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Molecules for Human Cancer Cachexia
DownloadSpring 2017
Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by severe depletion of skeletal muscle, with or without fat loss. A majority of cancer patients with incurable cancer are affected with cachexia and it remains an unmet medical need. Gene expression changes at the transcriptional...

Profiling and Identification of Small Non-coding RNAs as Prognostic Markers for Breast Cancer
DownloadFall 2016
Breast cancer (BC) continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer related death among women. Despite continuous progress in screening, diagnosis and treatment of BC, a subset of patients experience recurrence and/or death. Optimal management of BC has remained a challenge due to these...

Regulation of digestive tract and progenitor cell homeostasis by intestinal bacteria in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2020
The digestive tract facilitates nutrient uptake in the presence of a heterogenous cohort of symbiotic microbes. These microbes along with their collective genetic material form the intestinal microbiome and contribute to animal phenotypes. Similar to mammals, the microbiome of insects forms a...

Removal of model waste-water bacteria by magnetite in water and waste-water treatment processes
DownloadFall 2012
Conventional disinfection processes used for water and waste-water treatment such as chlorination, and ozonation produce disinfection by products which are carcinogenic. The use of magnetite as an alternative method of removing pathogenic microorganisms from the water streams was proposed as it...

Repeated oronasal exposure to lipopolysaccharide induced mucosal IgA responses in periparturient dairy cows
Download2014
Dunn, Suzanna M., Iqbal, Summera, Zebeli, Qendrim, Mansmann, Dominik A., Ametaj, Burim N.
This study investigated the effects of repeated oronasal treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the humoral immune responses in saliva, vaginal mucus, and the plasma markers of the acute phase response in periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein cows were administered either 3...

Melim, Leslie A., Northup. Diana E., Spilde, Michael N., Jones, Brian, Boston, Penelope J., Bixby, Rebecca J.
We report on a reticulated filament found in modern and fossil cave samples that cannot be correlated to any known microorganism or organism part. These filaments were found in moist environments in five limestone caves (four in New Mexico, U.S.A., one in Tabasco, Mexico), and a basalt lava tube...

A bacterial colony constitutes a complex microcosm which is equipped with a wide range of defensive adaptations that allow the colony to survive adverse environmental conditions and predation. The extreme resilience of bacteria in colonies has been a subject of continued research for nearly two...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which are known to regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses, such as Cold Stress (CS) and during normal growth and development. In Brassica napus (canola), miRNAs regulate various developmental processes and responses to metal stress however;...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range
Download2015
Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Infectious respiratory diseases, caused by viruses and bacteria that attack the respiratory system, constitute a serious threat in public health around the world. Pathogens can be transmitted in the air though large droplets or aerosols. As aerosols can linger in the environment for a prolonged...
