Safe Polymeric Nucleic Acid Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy: Focus on Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
DownloadFall 2021
Meenakshi Sundaram, Daniel Nisakar
RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising technology to specifically target the upregulated genes that provide uncontrolled proliferation and survival of cancers. The target specific silencing is accomplished by the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which require safe delivery systems to...

Spectral Editing for Detection of Oncologically Relevant Metabolites with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 9.4 T
DownloadFall 2019
Short echo time (TE) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques with spectral fitting are commonly employed approaches for brain metabolite quantification at 9.4 T. However, there is a significant overlap of peaks in short-TE spectra, even at 9.4 T. To better resolve resonances, spectral...

Survival Benefit of Chemotherapy in Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Treated with Surgery and Post-Operative Radiation
DownloadFall 2017
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is the third most common cancer of the head and neck. The incidence of all subtypes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma has decreased over the past 30 years in Canada and most of the world except for OPSCC. The increasing incidence of OPSCC over...

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Radiolabelled Substrates for Imaging of GLUT5 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Using Positron Emission Tomography
DownloadFall 2012
Overactive glucose transport and metabolism has been widely recognized as one of the fundamental hallmarks of cancer and its progression. The facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1 is widely overexpressed in many tumor types compared to their untransformed counterparts. Due to this, the glucose...

Systematic microRNAome profiling reveals the roles of microRNAs in milk protein metabolism and quality: Insights on low-quality forage utilization
Download2016
Wang, Diming, Sun, Huizeng, Liu, Jianxin, Guan, Le Luo, Wang, Bing, Liang, Guanxiang
In this study, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of milk protein production in dairy cows by studying the miRNAomes of five key metabolic tissues involved in protein synthesis and metabolism from dairy cows fed high- and low-quality diets. In total, 340, 338, 337, 330, and 328...

Spring 2018
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most prevalent cancer worldwide with rates of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) dramatically increasing. The overexpression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase...

Fall 2019
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women worldwide. Fortunately, death rates have been declining since 1990, due to the increase in early detection, testing, and improved treatment. However, despite the advancement of targeted and hormone therapies for certain molecular sub-types...

The Cardioprotective Role of the N-3 PUFA Metabolite 19,20-Epoxydocosapentaenoic Acid (19,20-EDP) in the Setting of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
DownloadSpring 2022
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Myocardial ischemia occurs when a coronary artery is occluded and consequently blood supply to the heart is restricted depleting it of oxygen and nutrients. Although early myocardial reperfusion,...
