Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (mROS) and metabolic substrates like alpha-ketogluterate (αKG), in proportion to oxygen, which target extra-mitochondrial effectors to coordinate a cellular response. For example, acute hypoxia decreases mROS, resulting in pulmonary artery smooth...

Development of a Novel Piglet Model to Simulate the Physiology of a Child with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome during the First Interstage for Investigating Changes in Tricuspid Valve as it Adapts to a High-pressure and High-volume Stress Environment
DownloadSpring 2020
INTRODUCTION: Tricuspid valve (TV) failure develops in 25-35% of children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms underlying TV failure in HLHS are not well understood. There is no effective medical therapy and current surgical...

The role of eosinophils in the neonatal murine thymus; Expression of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase
DownloadFall 2009
Rationale: Eosinophils are “end cell” leucocytes, associated with allergy, asthma and helminthiasis. At sites of inflammation, eosinophils may modulate immune response through expression of the extra-hepatic tryptophan-catabolising enzyme, Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO). Kynurenines, products...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common opportunistic post-transplant infection. Although important advances have been made in the management and prevention of post-transplant CMV, current strategies for monitoring and prevention still show significant limitations. Such gaps create opportunities...

Human Pegivirus Infection of the Central Nervous System: Neural Cell Tropism and Neuroimmune Responses
DownloadFall 2020
Human pegivirus (HPgV) is a positive sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family that is best characterized in the context of peripheral lymphocyte infection. Our group recently reported HPgV infection in the central nervous system (CNS) of two patients with fatal...
