Deciphering the mechanism(s) which limit reovirus spread in resistant lung and HNSCC cancer cells
DownloadFall 2016
Reovirus is a naturally benign virus that preferentially replicates in transformed cells and is currently undergoing clinical trials as a promising oncolytic therapy. In normal mouse fibroblasts, transformation by constitutively activated Ras oncogene is sufficient to promote reovirus infection....

Investigating early life microbial and host transcriptomic dynamics in the bovine gastrointestinal tract
DownloadSpring 2019
There is increasing concern surrounding the ability of livestock industries to meet the needs of the rising global population. The gastrointestinal microbiota of ruminants plays a critical role in feed degradation, host energy supply, but is also a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse...

Dervishi, Elda, Ametaj, Burim N., Zhang, Guanshi, Dunn, Suzana M., Hailemariam, Dagnachew
Background Failure to expel fetal membranes within 24 h of calving is a pathological condition defined as retained placenta (RP). The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether there are alterations in several selected serum variables related to innate immunity and carbohydrate and...

Proliferative Signals Regulate Hemocyte Development and Intestinal Immunity in Drosophila melanogaster.
DownloadSpring 2015
The innate immune system is an ancient line of resistance against intrusive microbial threats. This system integrates cellular, humoral, and barrier defenses to generate a protective immune response. These divisions are indispensable and conserved between Drosophila and mammals. Hemocytes are the...

Prophylactic ciprofloxacin treatment prevented high mortality, and modified systemic and intestinal immune function in tumour-bearing rats receiving dose-intensive CPT-11 chemotherapy
Download2009
Baracos, Vickie E., Xue, Hongyu, Sawyer, Michael B., Field, Catherine J
Infectious complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality from dose-intensive cancer chemotherapy. In spite of the importance of intestinal bacteria translocation in these infections, information about the effect of high-dose chemotherapy on gut mucosal immunity is minimal. We studied...

Maintenance of the gut health of calves is vital because enteric infections are associated with high mortality during the pre-weaned period. The small intestine is the primary site of many enteric infections and plays an important role in protecting the host from pathogenic infection through both...
