Optimization of a two-step desolvation method for preparing gelatin nanoparticles and cell uptake studies in 143B osteosarcoma cancer cells
Download2006
Abrams, D., Huang, Y., McQuarrie, S., Roa, W., Chen, H., Löbenberg, R., Azarmi, S., Miller, G. G., Finlay, W. H.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To establish a matrix of parameters to synthesize nanoparticles of different sizes and to investigate the cellular uptake of these nanoparticles by osteosarcoma cancer cells in order to investigate their potential as therapeutic drug-delivery carriers. METHODS: Gelatin A and B...

Dematiaceous hyphomycetes are a taxonomically diverse artificial assemblage of conidial fungi that have dark pigments known as melanins in their walls. Select dematiaceous hyphomycetes from the Coniochaetales, Pleosporales, and Helotiales obtained from arctic and alpine bryophytes and vascular...

The kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) is crucial in the regulation of physiological pH by facilitating Cl-/HCO3- exchange. Inability to do so results in distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), which is more often due to mutations leading to mis-localization of kAE1, rather than complete abolishment...

Provided that infectious prions (PrPTSE) are inactivated, composting of specified risk material (SRM) may be a viable alternative to rendering and land filling. The overall objective of this research was to utilize laboratory-scale composters to assess the degradation of SRM and PrPTSE during...

Conditional, temperature-induced proteolytic regulation of cyanobacterial RNA helicase expression
Download2014
Owttrim, George W., Tarassova, Oxana S., Chamot, Danuta
Conditional proteolysis is a crucial process regulating the abundance of key regulatory proteins associated with the cell cycle, differentiation pathways, or cellular response to abiotic stress in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. We provide evidence that conditional proteolysis is involved...

Application of Ozone and Peroxone Processes for Naphthenic Acids Degradation in Oil Sands Process-Affected Water: Characterization of Water Before and After Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
Appling ozone (O3) with high doses (>100 mg/L) to remove naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW); limits its application and feasibility in the OSPW remediation. To decrease the required doses and their associated costs, this study examined the application of ozone...

Water Absorption and Performance Degradation of Natural Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
DownloadFall 2017
Natural fiber reinforced polyethylene biocomposites are an environmentally friendly alternative to non-biodegradable thermoplastic materials. The addition of natural fibers to polyethylene improves mechanical properties such as tensile modulus and tensile strength. Unlike thermoplastics,...
