To maintain an effective barrier, intestinal epithelial progenitor cells must divide at a rate that matches the loss of dead and dying cells. Epithelial damage during most enteric infection accelerates cell proliferation and tissue repair via multiple stress responses. However, infection with the...

Chen, Tai Y., Foxcroft, George R., Blanes, Milena, Dyck, Michael K., Athorn, Rebecca, Langendijk, Piete, Tsoi, Stephen
The aim of commercial pig breeding programs is to maximize the number of pigs produced per sow per year. Given that sows exhibit an estrus during lactation is a potential means of increasing productivity of a pig breeding herd without reducing in lactation length, conventionally, weaning of...

Innate Immunity and the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Gene Therapy for Inherited Retinal Disorders
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The photoreceptors are post-mitotic (no longer dividing), so the eye has evolved several unique immunological mechanisms to protect the photoreceptors and prevent vision loss. Inherited retinal disorders occur when mutations disrupt normal retinal function and photoreceptors die....
