Plasma Membrane Organization and Endocytosis of CD36 in Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells
DownloadSpring 2016
The plasma membrane is a dynamic lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, embedded with different plasma membrane proteins, aiding communication between the inside and outside of the cells. Its functions are achieved through an intricate organization of lipid-lipid, lipid-protein and...

Protein prenylation is the post-translational addition of isoprenoid lipid moieties to proteins, which regulates their subcellular localization and function. Farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoids are covalently linked to cysteines residues in a C-terminal prenylation recognition sequence in...

Structure and function relationships of the binding of β- and ɑ-galactosylated oligosaccharides to K88 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Download2018-01-01
Yan, Ya Lu, Gänzle, Michael G.
Chitosan-oligosaccharides (COS) are suitable acceptors for β-galactosidase, and galactosylated-COS prevent adhesion of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 to porcine erythrocytes. The structure and functional relationship of oligosaccharide binding to ETEC K88 fimbriae was investigated....

Development of progenitor cells into myeloid cells (i.e. macrophages and neutrophils) is critical to the survival of metazoans for maintenance of homeostasis and defense against pathogens. While much is known about myeloid cell development in mammals, less is known about this process in fish. The...

The biology and characterization of NOD-like receptors in goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) macrophages exposed to bacterial pathogens
DownloadSpring 2017
The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is important for the initiation of the host defense against pathogens. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are a family of PRRs that primarily detect the cytosolic PAMPs of the pathogens. The NLRs have...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Use of Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors for Evaluating the Adhesion of SU-8 Thin Films
DownloadFall 2015
This research investigates the use of a SU-8/AlN/Si SAW sensor for evaluating the adhesion of SU-8 thin films. A theoretical model is developed to plot the wave dispersion profile for the SU-8/AlN/Si configuration. A spring interface model is utilized to represent the SU-8/AlN interface using a...

Fall 2020
In this thesis, the challenges involved with large-scale Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3-dimensional (3D) printing is explored through an industrial application in which a cantilever chair is produced as a case study. The chair is designed in SOLIDWORKS® in which easy variability and complex...
