Identification of functional genes for feed efficiency traits via transcriptome analyses to enhance the genomic prediction accuracy in beef cattle
DownloadFall 2019
Residual feed intake (RFI), a measure of feed efficiency, and its component traits including average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI) and metabolic weight (MWT) are traits of great economic importance to the beef industry. The genetic improvement of these traits can improve the...

Intrafractional tumour tracking is of considerable interest as a means to minimize the PTV in treating mobile tumours. By utilizing the intrafractional MR imaging feature of linac-MR, this thesis seeks to develop a direct, non-surrogate based intrafractional tumour tracking system, and physically...

Lipid Modified Polymers for Transfection of Human CRL Fibroblasts, and for siRNA Mediated MDR Reversal in Melanoma Cancer Therapy
DownloadFall 2010
Gene delivery for therapeutic purposes is quickly emerging as the best potential treatment option for inherited genetic diseases and cancer. Viral gene carriers have been the choice for this purpose due to their high efficiency, but harmful immunogenic and oncogenic host reactions have limited...

Abstract — An 8-month-old, virgin Holstein heifer with precocious mammary development was presented for examination. Protein, fat, and lactose in the mammary secretion were 14.90%, 0.12%, and 0.20%, respectively; somatic cell count was 3.9 3 10 6 /mL, with no bacterial infection. The heifer was...

Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer cells with increased evidence pointing to a role in tumor progression. In particular, aberrant sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids has been linked to increased immune cell evasion, drug evasion, drug resistance, tumor invasiveness, and...

Transcriptome microRNA profiling of bovine mammary epithelial cells challenged with Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria reveals pathogen directed microRNA expression profiles
Download2014
Zhao, Xin, Liang, Guanxiang, Jin, Weiwu, Guan, Leluo, Beaudoin, Frédéric, Ibeagha-Awemu, Eveline M.
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression and have been shown to be critical regulators to the fine-tuning of epithelial immune responses. However, the role of miRNAs in bovine responses to E. coli and S. aureus, two mastitis causing pathogens, is not well...
