The human neuraminidase enzyme, NEU3, regulates integrin-mediated cell migration via changes in glycolipid composition
DownloadFall 2013
The human neuraminidase enzyme, NEU3, is known to cleave sialic acid from ganglioside substrates. However, the biological effects of this cleavage are not clearly understood. This thesis describes our studies of the regulation of β1-integrins by neuraminidase enzymes, and the role of gangliosides...

The Influence of Specific Ions and System Architecture on the Recognition and Reactivity of Two Charged Materials: DNA-Modified Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates and Planar Silica
DownloadFall 2014
DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP–DNA) offer simple colorimetric nucleic acid sensing with high selectivity and sensitivity. Consequently, they are promising in genetic profiling, disease diagnostics, and forensic applications. In the presence of a target nucleic acid, GNP–DNA forms...
