Spring 2016
The hypoxic ventilatory response comprises of an initial increase in ventilation, followed by a secondary depression that can be life threatening in premature infants. During hypoxia, ATP is released in the ventrolateral medulla, where it is suggested to attenuate the secondary hypoxic...

Molecular Prognostication of Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Tissue Microarray Analysis
DownloadSpring 2018
AimsOral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, which is thought to account for differences in treatment response between patients who have otherwise similar characteristics. Cancer biomarkers provide a means of molecular classification, which can be of...

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...

Fibre-Type Specific Nuclear Localisation Patterns of NFAT-isoforms in CLFS Induced Skeletal Muscle Adaptations
DownloadSpring 2014
The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the nuclear localisation patterns of NFAT-c1, -c2, -c3, and -c4 in relation to chronic low-frequency stimulation induced fibre type transitions. A model has been suggested to describe the roles of all 4 NFAT isoforms in activity-dependent...

Fall 2014
An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Characterization of Human Pancreatic Beta-cell Progenitors as a Means to Alleviate the Shortage of Donor Tissue for Islet Transplantation
DownloadFall 2012
The current shortage of islet tissue from cadaveric human donors is not sustainable and will preclude islet transplantation from becoming a widespread therapeutic treatment for those with type 1 diabetes. A potential alternative source of tissue may be through isolating, expanding, and...

Fall 2012
ATP actions on central inspiratory networks are determined by a three-part signaling system comprising: i) excitatory actions of ATP at P2 receptors (Rs) ii) ectonucleotidases that degrade ATP into adenosine (ADO), and iii) inhibitory actions of ADO at P1Rs. During hypoxia, an initial increase in...
