Rac1 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rho family. Like other Rho family GTPases, it mediates a plethora of cellular effects, including regulation of cytoarchitecture, cell size, cell adhesion, cell polarity, cell motility, proliferation, apoptosis/survival, and membrane trafficking. The...

Cilia are microtubule-based structures that project from nearly every cell in the vertebrate body. While cilia in different contexts can have either sensory or motile functions, all cilia rely upon a core set of genes. When these genes are mutated either singly or in various combinations, a...

Investigation of transcriptional and translational regulation of the Neurospora crassa alternative oxidase
DownloadFall 2018
Mitochondria are organelles found in most eukaryotes and supply the cell with the majority of its energy needs in the form of ATP. Most of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are nuclear encoded. Therefore, mitochondria communicate their functional status to the nucleus, resulting in...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...

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...

Large corporations have a significant amount of working capital tied into the acquisition and storage of spare parts. In the industry, spare parts inventory policies and strategies are often developed in isolation from reliability centered maintenance practices – this results in significant...

Headgear are cranial appendages usually seen in males of infraorder Pecora. This trait is used to determine hierarchy and gain access to mates. In bighorn sheep, males or rams have impressively large horns that are made of keratin and cancellous bone. These horns are used in yearly combats to...

The Role of MAGEL2 in Ubiquitination Pathways and its Contribution to Prader-Willi and Schaaf-Yang Syndromes
DownloadFall 2019
The MAGEL2 gene is implicated in two neurodevelopmental disorders: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS). PWS is characterized by intellectual disability, obesity, poor muscle tone, distinct facial features, excessive daytime sleepiness and nighttime wakening. PWS is a...

Towards Clinical Testing of Intraspinal Microstimulation for Restoration of Walking after Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2019
The overall goal of this thesis was to advance intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) towards clinical testing for the purpose of restoring walking after spinal cord injury. ISMS implants focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury by activating the intact spinal motor networks below the...
