Evolution of the eukaryotic membrane trafficking system as revealed by comparative genomic and phylogenetic analysis of adaptin, golgin, and SNARE proteins
DownloadSpring 2020
All eukaryotic cells possess a complex system of endomembranes that functions in trafficking molecular cargo within the cell, which is not observed in prokaryotic cells. This membrane trafficking system is fundamental to the cellular physiology of extant eukaryotes, and includes organelles such...

Examining the Effects of Cytoplasmic Tail Splicing Event in Goldfish (Carassius auratus) Leukocyte Immune-type receptors
DownloadSpring 2024
The innate immune system is important in clearing infections and maintaining homeostasis. Across vertebrates, innate immunity is capable of executing potent effector responses through the actions of highly specialized cells. Effector responses, such as phagocytosis and cytokine secretion, are...

Investigating the Role of Cdc42 in the Production and Release of Pro-Inflammatory Mediators in Airway Epithelial Cells
DownloadFall 2024
Epithelial cells line the lung airways providing a protective physical and immunological barrier against inhaled particles and pathogens. Hence, airway epithelial cells express a variety of surface receptors that confer recognition of inhaled toxins, allergens and various pathogens. Receptor...
