Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) protein 2 Like 1 (PKD2L1), also called transient receptor potential polycystin-3 (TRPP3), regulates Ca2+-dependent hedgehog signalling in primary cilia, intestinal development and sour tasting but with an unclear mechanism. PKD2L1 is a Ca2+-permeable cation channel...

Nucleosides are essential for RNA and DNA synthesis. They also play a central role in other cellular metabolic pathways, and modulate a diverse array of physiological processes, including renal and cardiovascular function and neurotransmission. Due to their hydrophilic nature, specialized...

This thesis examines the cellular basis of the acute (<1 hour) anti-allodynic actions of the clinically-approved neuropathic pain drug gabapentin (GBP) in rats at the level of the spinal dorsal horn and primary somatosensory cortex. Although the clinical effectiveness of the alpha-2-delta (α2δ)...

Pharmacological and Fluorometric Assessment of Neuronal KCNQ Channels, and Implications for Understanding Neurological Disease
DownloadSpring 2020
Epilepsy affects 60 million people worldwide, and encompasses the most common forms of neurological disorders. Epilepsy manifests in diverse ways in patients, ranging from mild cognitive effects, to seizures, to the more severe epileptic encephalopathy. While many pharmacological approaches exist...

Profiling the Bacterial and Fungal Gut Microbiome of Children with and without Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
DownloadFall 2020
Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease that has a large array of direct (e.g. altered metabolic and inflammatory profile) and indirect (e.g. mental health concerns etc.) consequences on health and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most...

The reason and functional relevance of why we sleep continues to perplex researchers. One fundamental reason behind why sleep remains a mystery is because it is challenging to study given how easily it is disrupted. Anesthesia has been suggested to be a model for studying sleep given the...

Sleep is a vital neurobiological process, yet despite its fundamental significance, delineating the endogenous neural pathways involved has been slow to progress due to a lack of diverse sleep models. Anesthesia, which has direct behavioural parallels to natural sleep, and which is often linked...
