The analysis of cytokine regulation of macrophage antimicrobial responses of the goldfish (Carassius auratus L.)
DownloadFall 2011
Inflammation is a highly regulated immune response to tissue damage, infiltrating pathogens or both. Cells of the myeloid lineage such as macrophages are indispensable for the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammation. Macrophages possess an armamentarium of antimicrobial responses...

The effects of antidepressants on the phenotype of activated microglia and ischemia-injured cortical neurons
DownloadFall 2013
Depression is one of the most common disorders appearing following a stroke and is also a major factor limiting recovery and rehabilitation in stroke patients. Several antidepressants have shown to have anti-inflammatory properties within the central nervous system (CNS). The major source of...

The prognosis and outcomes of patients with a ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and the biochemical and clinical inflammatory response
DownloadSpring 2013
Acute myocardial infarction, and specifically coronary plaque rupture, has been associated with a systemic inflammatory cascade. Using multiple large clinical trial datasets, we sought to further understand the systemic and clinical inflammatory responses in patients with ST-elevation myocardial...

The Role of Haemocytes in the Immune Response of Biomphalaria glabrata against Schistosoma mansoni: Investigations into Haematopoiesis and Pattern Recognition Receptors
DownloadSpring 2018
Snails (Gastropoda) serve as hosts for the larval development of many medically and agriculturally important digenean trematodes (parasitic flatworms), including schistosomes, blood flukes that collectively infect more than 260 million people globally. Compatibility between snails and digeneans...

The tumor suppressor protein Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) has roles in multiple signaling pathways including modulating apoptosis, the cell cycle, DNA damage, and microtubule organization. RASSF1A has been shown to be one of the most frequently epigenetically silenced genes in a...

Toxic effects induced in mammalian immune cells after in vitro exposure to oil sands process-affected water and its fractions
DownloadFall 2019
Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is produced by the surface mining industry in Alberta as a byproduct of the Clark hot water process, the currently used extraction method of crude oil from bitumen/tar sands. Under a provincial zero release policy all produced OSPW must be stored on site....
