Vitrification of articular cartilage (AC) could enhance tissue availability but requires high concentrations of cyroprotective agents (CPAs). This study investigated relative injuries caused by commonly used CPAs. We hypothesized that the in situ chondrocyte dose–injury relationships of five...

Effect of horticultural oil on oviposition behaviour and egg survival in the obliquebanded leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Download2009
Evenden, M. L., Wins-Purdy, A. H., Whitehouse, C., Judd, G. J. R.
Abstract: The effects of the horticultural oil Purespray Green on oviposition behaviour and egg development in the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), were investigated through dual-choice and no-choice bioassays and topical applications of oil to developing eggs. A...

Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Fatty Acids Modify Skeletal Muscle Fat Infiltration in an Animal Model of Colorectal Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy
DownloadSpring 2017
Background: Myosteatosis is defined as low skeletal muscle radio-density with elevated amounts of intermuscular adipose tissue, assessed using computed tomography. Myosteatosis has been recently observed to be associated with mortality in people with cancer. Previous work from our lab reported...

The heavy oils produced from the Alberta oil sands contain cyclic organic compounds together with sulphur and nitrogen. Upon thermal treatment they have the potential to form carcinogenic, mutagenic, and toxic compounds. Recovery of oil by in-situ combustion processes, such as the Combination of...

Induction of microsomal membrane proteins in roots of an aluminum-resistant cultivar of Triticum aestivum L. under conditions of aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, U., Basu, A., Taylor, G. J.
Three-day-old seedlings of an Al-sensitive (Neepawa) and an Al-resistant (PT741) cultivar of Triticum aestivum were subjected to Al concentrations ranging from a to 100 mu M for 72 h. At 25 mu M Al, growth of roots was inhibited by 57% in the Al-sensitive cultivar, whereas root growth in the...

Ketabi, Ali, Baracos, Vickie E., Field, Catherine J., Lin, Xiaoxi, Xue, Hongyu, Bibova, Ilona, Gänzle, Michael G., Dieleman, Levinus A., Sawyer, Michael B.
Intestinal microbiota mediate toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11) cancer therapies and cause systemic infection after CPT-11-induced loss of barrier function. The intestinal microbiota and their functions are thus potential targets for treatment to mitigate CPT-11 toxicity. However, microbiota...

Lipid Modified Polymers for Transfection of Human CRL Fibroblasts, and for siRNA Mediated MDR Reversal in Melanoma Cancer Therapy
DownloadFall 2010
Gene delivery for therapeutic purposes is quickly emerging as the best potential treatment option for inherited genetic diseases and cancer. Viral gene carriers have been the choice for this purpose due to their high efficiency, but harmful immunogenic and oncogenic host reactions have limited...

MetaboMiner – semi-automated identification of metabolites from 2D NMR spectra of complex biofluids
Download2008
Tang, P., Wishart, D.S., Xia, J., Bjorndahl, T.C.
Background One-dimensional (1D) 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is widely used in metabolomic studies involving biofluids and tissue extracts. There are several software packages that support compound identification and quantification via 1D 1H NMR by spectral fitting...

Modulation of the uptake and toxicity of PFOA by Polystyrene and Titanium dioxide nanoparticles in Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) and Daphnia (Daphnia magna)
DownloadFall 2023
Nanomaterial toxicity is a major concern in today’s world. The benefits of nanoparticle use have led to the production of various kinds of nanomaterials including a high volume of nanoplastics, TiO2 nanoparticles, and CeO nanoparticles. Different nanomaterials are shown to be a suitable vector...
