Fall 2023
Central to calcium homeostasis and bone health is adequate intestinal calcium absorption. Calcium from the diet is absorbed via either a transcellular or a paracellular pathway both of which are regulated by calciotropic hormones. In cases of low dietary calcium availability, a transcellular...

Creating and Capitalizing on Opportunities to Reduce Poverty: The Process and Power of Integrated Knowledge Translation
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis describes the experiences of partners involved in integrated knowledge translation (iKT)—a poorly understood process wherein partners from diverse professional spheres (e.g. community, government, and academia) work together to ensure research generated is relevant for the context of...

Kidney stones and osteoporosis are prevalent clinical conditions posing a large economic burden to the healthcare system. A common risk factor for both these diseases is hypercalciuria, which is the inappropriate excretion of calcium in urine. Changes in serum calcium levels are detected by the...

Delineation of molecular mechanisms of intestinal calcium absorption during postnatal development
DownloadFall 2021
Infants and children must maintain a positive calcium balance for appropriate growth. Evidence suggests that adaptations in intestinal absorption of calcium are the major determinant of this net balance. However, the molecular details of the pathways mediating this increased absorption at a young...

Quantitative information on the uptake and distribution of Al at the cellular level is required to understand mechanisms of Al toxicity, but direct measurement of uptake across the plasma membrane has remained elusive. We measured rates of Al transport across membranes in single cells of Chara...
