Fall 2012
ATP actions on central inspiratory networks are determined by a three-part signaling system comprising: i) excitatory actions of ATP at P2 receptors (Rs) ii) ectonucleotidases that degrade ATP into adenosine (ADO), and iii) inhibitory actions of ADO at P1Rs. During hypoxia, an initial increase in...

Angiostatin inhibits endothelial MMP-2 and MMP-14 expression: A hypoxia specific mechanism of action
Download2013
Zielnik-Drabik, B., Jurasz, P., Radziwon-Balicka, A., Moncada de la Rosa, C., Ramer, C.
Angiostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor in part generated by and released from platelets. Since platelets upon thrombus formation can give rise to areas of hypoxia, we investigated the effects of angiostatin on endothelial cell migration and apoptosis during hypoxia. Human microvascular...

The menisci are a pair of knee joint structures that are wedge-shaped in cross-section and semi-lunar in superior view. They play roles in force distribution that help maintain the health of the articular cartilage. In adults, the menisci can be divided into a fibrous, vascularized outer region...

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Collagen I: an aberrantly expressed molecule in chondrocytes or a key player in tissue stabilization and repair both in vivo and in vitro?
DownloadSpring 2010
Barley, Randall Douglas Corwyn
Extrinsic repair techniques for the treatment of acute chondral injuries continue to yield suboptimal repair. The inability of these techniques to produce hyaline cartilage underscores the limitations in our understanding of basic chondrocyte biology. Conversely, intrinsic repair tissue has not...

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria lessen the impact of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) not only because they are a sink for atmospheric methane but also because they oxidize it before it is emitted to the atmospheric reservoir. Aerobic methanotrophs, unlike anaerobic methane oxidizing archaea,...

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), become activated in response to danger signals given out by other cells when homeostasis has been disturbed. Microglial activation is a multifaceted phenomenon that includes numerous distinct phenotypes. The type of...

Evaluation of Hypoxia Induced Regulation of Nucleoside and Amino Acid Membrane Transporters in Breast Cancer
DownloadSpring 2020
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) utilizes radioactively tagged molecules to identify cancerous tissue. In most cases, membrane transporters control entry of these molecules into human cancer cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is the master homeostatic regulator during hypoxia in human...

Intracortical administration of pleiotrophin in ischemic stroke: investigating functional outcomes and glial expression
DownloadSpring 2023
Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in Canada, exerting a serious burden on stroke survivors, their families, and healthcare resources. Characterized by brain damage due to loss of blood flow and oxygen supply, ischemic stroke is characterized by...
