Insulin signaling, mitochondrial DNA copy number regulation and aging in Caenorhabditis elegans
DownloadFall 2010
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered as a key mechanism of aging but little is known about the impact of mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number control is an important aspect of mitochondrial biogenesis and is highly regulated in eukaryotic organisms. By studying mtDNA...

Intracortical administration of pleiotrophin in ischemic stroke: investigating functional outcomes and glial expression
DownloadSpring 2023
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in Canada, exerting a serious burden on stroke survivors, their families, and healthcare resources. Characterized by brain damage due to loss of blood flow and oxygen supply, ischemic stroke is characterized by...

Fall 2023
The calving transition is a challenging period for dairy cows characterized by negative energy balance, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation, each of which may compromise milk production. Despite extensive research in this area, much is still unknown on how to best manage this period. The...

Investigating the role of coiled-coil domain containing protein 3 (CCDC3), a novel secreted protein, in endothelial inflammation
DownloadFall 2015
Endothelial inflammation is critical in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces endothelial inflammation via activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling....

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...

Spring 2015
Protein silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising treatment strategy for cancer as over-expression of proteins is largely responsible for cancer cells’ infinite proliferation, evasion of cell death and multi-drug resistance. However, siRNAs require a carrier as their biological...

Mechanisms by Which Arachidonic acid Metabolite, Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid Elicit Cardioprotection Against Ischemic Reperfusion Injury
DownloadFall 2011
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid that have cardioprotective properties but the exact mechanism(s) remains unknown. Evidence suggests phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and plasma membraneATP-sensitive potassium channels (pmKATP) are...

Fall 2015
Ischemic heart Disease (IHD) remains a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Therefore, therapeutic agents to protect against myocardial ischemia are needed. Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase into the biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids...

Spring 2013
The success of cellular cryopreservation is indicated by the state of post-thawed cells. Using human umbilical vein endothelial cells as a model, the cryobiological response to interrupted cooling protocols was evaluated with a combination of fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry....
