Genesis and Characterization of Human eNOS-Based Platelet Subpopulations. Implications for Haemostasis and Thrombosis
DownloadFall 2019
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke are responsible for nearly half of all cardiovascular deaths in Canada. Platelets play a critical role in MI and ischemic stroke by forming thrombi that occlude coronary and cerebral arteries. In spite of abundant pharmacological agents...

Manipulation of the Angiogenic Balance by Pharmacological Inhibition of Platelet PKC Signalling
DownloadFall 2012
Blood platelets mediate wound healing by preventing bleeding and by supporting growth of new blood vessels. Blood vessel growth is supported in part by growth factors released from platelet α-granules. Both platelet aggregation and α-granule release are mediated by intracellular signaling...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent human retrovirus characterized by life-long infection and risk of developing HAM/TSP, a progressive neurological and inflammatory disease. Despite extensive studies of HTLV-I, a complete understanding of the viral dynamics has been...

Mechanisms of Neonatal Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease: Exploring the Gut-Liver Axis
DownloadSpring 2018
Neonates with intestinal failure (IF), who must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN) for growth and maintenance of health, are at risk for intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). In neonates, short bowel syndrome (SBS) as a result of intestinal resection is the most common cause of IF....

Novel Mucosal Vaccines to Improve Immune and Health Status of Periparturient Dairy Cows and Increase their Productive Potentials
DownloadFall 2013
The transition period is critical for the health and productivity of dairy cows. Feeding high-grain diets immediately after parturition is necessary to support high milk production. However, high-grain diets are associated with acidic rumen pH and alterations in the composition of rumen...

Short-chain fatty acids influence host immunity, mucus secretion and microbial community structure to reduce enteritis
DownloadFall 2016
Optimal intestinal health is critical to overall host well-being, and acute and chronic enteric inflammatory diseases impart a significant detrimental impact on Canadians. The consumption of dietary fibre (DF) has long been associated with providing a health benefit to individuals, and regulatory...

Fall 2016
Background: The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory suggests there are small populations of cancer cells that has stem cell-like characteristics, such as self-renewal. These CSCs are thought to be responsible for initiating new tumors following metastasis. Platelets have also been implicated in cancer...
