Delineation of molecular mechanisms of intestinal calcium absorption during postnatal development
DownloadFall 2021
Infants and children must maintain a positive calcium balance for appropriate growth. Evidence suggests that adaptations in intestinal absorption of calcium are the major determinant of this net balance. However, the molecular details of the pathways mediating this increased absorption at a young...

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...
