Fungal pathogens are recognized by Dectin-1, a pattern recognition receptor expressed on mammalian innate immune cells. Dectin-1 detects β-glucans, which are polymers of glucose that are a main component of the fungal cell wall. While purified, soluble β-glucans have been used in the clinic as...

Development of imaging-based techniques to examine signalling properties of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) leukocyte immune-type receptors (IpLITRs)
DownloadSpring 2017
Cells of the innate immune system have the ability to rapidly detect and eliminate pathogens using surface-expressed immunoregulatory receptors that translate extracellular binding into effector functions such as degranulation, cytokine secretion, cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and phagocytosis....

The ever-growing market share of electrical transportation and energy storage stations has led to a demand surge for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite their popularity in global energy storage market, an efficient, sustainable and green method that can recycle spent LIBs is also in active...

Examination of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) leukocyte immune-type receptor-mediated crosstalk regulation of phagocytosis
DownloadFall 2020
Across vertebrates, innate immune cells are capable of initiating a range of potent effector responses that are designed to destroy or contain foreign microbial invaders. The execution and regulation of various innate cellular responses is mediated by a dedicated repertoire of cell...

Fall 2013
In response to pathogens, immune cells induce protective effector functions, such as degranulation, phagocytosis and cytokine secretion, which are initiated by stimulatory or inhibitory immunoregulatory receptors expressed on leukocytes. Using a fish immunological model system, the focus of my...

West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic, blood-borne flavivirus that can cause serious neurological disease in humans and animals. While significant progress has been made in identifying virus-encoded pathogenic determinants, very little is known regarding how these viral proteins interact with...

Magazine Images Depicting the Ideal Fit Male Body: An Outlet for Influencing Body Perceptions and Exercise Related Cognitions
DownloadFall 2012
This study examined the effects of viewing health/fitness and sports magazine images on body perceptions and exercise related cognitions in males. The moderating effects of age were also examined. A series of 3 (image-only, magazine cover, control) by 3 (youngest, middle, oldest) ANOVA analyses...

The human neuraminidases (NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, and NEU4) are a family of enzymes implicated in pathologies including cancer and diabetes. Our group has developed selective inhibitors for these enzymes that have been employed as tools to understand their biological roles. Several reports have linked...
