Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties of a hydroxyapatite adhesive block copolymer
Download2014-01-01
Zhang, Qiang, Serpe, Michael J.
A novel diblock copolymer composed of bisphosphonate and pyridine oligomers has been prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Ag ion was introduced into the polymer via its coordination with the pyridine groups, followed by a reduction process to obtain Ag...

Taxonomic assessment of rumen microbiota using total RNA and targeted amplicon sequencing approaches
Download2016
Janssen, Peter H., Li, Fuyong, Sun, Xu, Cox, Faith, Guan, Leluo, Henderson, Gemma
Taxonomic characterization of active gastrointestinal microbiota is essential to detect shifts in microbial communities and functions under various conditions. This study aimed to identify and quantify potentially active rumen microbiota using total RNA sequencing and to compare the outcomes of...

The ecology of boreal forest floor microbial communities in relation to environmental factors
DownloadFall 2012
Soil microbial communities in boreal forests are structured by complex interactions among many factors operating simultaneously on large and small spatial scales. Of particular note in the boreal mixedwood, the microbial communities under trembling aspen and white spruce forest floors are...

The intestinal microbiota plays a role in Salmonella-induced colitis independent of pathogen colonization
Download2011
Antunes, L. Caetano M., Gill, Navkiran, Russell, Shannon L., Finlay, B. Brett, Ferreira, Rosana B., Croxen, Matthew A., Willing, Benjamin P.
The intestinal microbiota is composed of hundreds of species of bacteria, fungi and protozoa and is critical for numerous biological processes, such as nutrient acquisition, vitamin production, and colonization resistance against bacterial pathogens. We studied the role of the intestinal...

The Occurrence of Residual Biological and Chemical Hazards in Recovered Struvite from Blackwater
DownloadFall 2018
Phosphorus is an essential element in several industries such as agriculture and a requirement for growth. Dwindling phosphate rock sources thus requires the security of new phosphorus sources to maintain future populations. On the other hand, wastewater contains a considerable amount of...

There is an increase in the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) worldwide, and this appears to be associated with an increase in the consumption of a Western diet high in fat and sugar, and low in fiber. Previous work shows that two-day exposure to high sugar diets increases the...

The role of intestinal microbiota in development of irinotecan toxicity and in toxicity reduction through dietary fibres in rats
Download2014
Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

The role of small intestinal permeability in the pathogenesis of colitis in the interleukin-10 gene deficient mouse
DownloadSpring 2011
It is currently believed that the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease involves an aberrant immune response towards the gastrointestinal microbial flora. In addition, an increase in intestinal paracellular permeability may also be a contributing factor of disease, as it precedes disease in...

The tumor suppressor protein Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) has roles in multiple signaling pathways including modulating apoptosis, the cell cycle, DNA damage, and microtubule organization. RASSF1A has been shown to be one of the most frequently epigenetically silenced genes in a...

Understanding the role of Clostridioides difficile and Vitamin D supplementation in shaping the gut microbiome of Canadian infants
DownloadSpring 2019
Introduction: The gut microbiome is shaped during infancy and has an important role in the development of both the immune and metabolic systems. Many early life exposures and events contribute to the composition of this complex intestinal environment, notably early infant diet and breastfeeding....
