Fall 2010
Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and inflammation in joints, typically weight-bearing joints such as the knee. An early warning sign of osteoarthritis is the loss of proteoglycan molecules in the cartilage matrix. A surrogate method for measuring proteoglycan loss is detection of sodium...

Fall 2015
Osteoarthritis, a disease resulting in the breakdown of cartilage and bone within joints, is a global burden that is growing in scope. There is no cure for osteoarthritis, and the current treatments are all lacking in some form or another. One treatment which attempts to prevent degeneration of...

Rekieh, K., Abazari, A., Elliott, J.A., Jomha, N.M., Law, G.K., McGann, L.E.
Objective: Osteochondral allografting is an effective method to treat large osteochondral defects but difficulties in tissue preservation have significantly limited the application of this technique. Successful cryopreservation of articular cartilage (AC) could improve the clinical availability...

Pitch perception in vocal learners: Fundamental shared components of pitch processing and biological relevance
DownloadSpring 2013
Pitch perception is important in both music and language perception in humans. Vocal learners, including humans, share the property of learning their vocalizations from a tutor when young. Similar behavioural and neural mechanisms underlying vocal production among different species of vocal...

Cryopreserving cells for human health therapeutics is a multidisciplinary process with great complexity. Cryopreservation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) has facilitated vascular biology research since they were first isolated in 1973 [59]; however identifying key variables to...

SSHRC IG awarded 2024: Despite a growing body of scholarship that suggests that engaging in more reciprocal relations in the human services can reduce the marginalization of service users and improve the well-being of all involved (service users, frontline workers, and managers), frontline...

Fall 2016
Articular cartilage injury is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis, a condition that results in significant patient morbidity and substantial cost to the healthcare system. Due to the limited capacity of articular cartilage to regenerate, early intervention is required to...

In this thesis sensorimotor integration in the human spinal cord was investigated in the intact (Chapters 2 and 3) and injured nervous systems (Chapter 4-stroke; Chapter 5-spinal cord injury (SCI)). In Chapter 2, I characterized a short-latency reflex pathway between sensory receptors of the...

Statistical prediction of the vitrifiability and glass stability of multi-component cryoprotective agent solutions.

Forbes, J. F., Law, G. K., Weiss, A. D., Scheuerman, A., McGann, L. E., Elliott, J. A., Jomha, N. M.
Long-term biologic storage of articular cartilage has proven elusive due to cellular degradation over time or acute damage during attempts at cryopreservation. Vitrification is one option that may result in successful cryopreservation but difficulty with cryoprotective agent (CPA) toxicity at...

The role of cultured chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells in the repair of acute articular cartilage injuries
DownloadSpring 2010
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that has significant individual, social, and economic impact worldwide. Although many etiologies lead to the eventual development of OA, one potentially treatable cause is the acute articular cartilage (AC) injury. These injuries are common and have a poor...
