Development of methodologies to identify polysialylated proteins and to visualize receptors for polysialic acid in biological samples
DownloadFall 2024
Polysialic acid (polySia) is a homo polymer made of Sialic acid monomers linked to each other through ⍺-2-8 linkages in humans. Its expression on cellular surfaces is limited to nervous, immune, and reproductive systems in a healthy adult human. It is overexpressed in certain tumors and results...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...
