Exploring the Role of ADAM17 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Macrophages Within the Atherosclerotic Plaque
DownloadSpring 2024
Atherosclerosis, characterized by arterial fat deposits, is the root cause of many cardiovascular diseases. Plaque deposition results from a series of events initiated by elevated plasma cholesterol, inflammation of the arterial wall, cholesterol uptake, macrophage-derived foam cell formation,...

Factors affecting larval growth and development of the boreal chorus frog Pseudacris maculata
DownloadFall 2010
The boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is a widespread species but we know little of its ecology. I examined the nature and existence of competitive mechanisms operating between larvae of the boreal chorus frog and wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) from field, mesocosm and laboratory venues...

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays normally give rise to certain percents of no-calls; the problem becomes severe when the target organisms, such as cattle, do not have a high resolution genomic sequence. Missing SNP genotypes, when related to target traits, would...

A trial is reported comparing half-carcass fat partitioning in 12 bulls and 12 heifers each of two breed-types: Hereford (HE) and Dairy Synthetic (DY). These animals were serially slaughtered from weaning (163 ± 15.1 (SE) days) to approximately 16 mo of age. After slaughter, one side of each...

Four diets in which peas progressively replaced barley [0% (0P), 30% (30P), 50% (50P), and 100% peas (100P)] and one in which canola meal (CM) replaced 10% of the barley, were fed to 90 beef heifers (initial weight 215.8 ± 13.8 kg). The heifers achieved average daily gains (ADGs) of 0.72, 0.80,...

Genome wide identification and functional prediction of long non-coding RNAs responsive to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection in Brassica napus
Download2016
Rahman, Muhammad H., Megha, Swati, Joshi, Raj K., Basu, Urmila, Kav, Nat N. V.
Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affects canola production worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in plants, in response to both abiotic and biotic stress. So far, identification of...

Industrial development is transforming Alberta's landscapes, with largely unquantified effects on wildlife species. Open-pit mining is occurring on vast expanses, most notably for bitumen but also extensively for coal in a rich seam that traverses the province. Major concerns have developed over...

Background: Unhealthy diet is a well-established risk factor for developing many physical health conditions in adolescents (e.g., obesity, type 2 diabetes). Evidence begins to emerge that unhealthy diet might also be implicated in the development of common mental disorders. While there is a...

Huh7.5 Cells Grown in Human Serum as a Model to Study the Effects of Hepatitis C Virus Infection on Lipid Catabolism
DownloadSpring 2018
Our goal is to study the additional elements of the mechanism of steatosis underlying hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Human hepatoma Huh7.5 cells cultured in human serum (HS) were used as a model to study the development of steatosis. Huh7.5 cells grown in HS media were chosen to study the...
