Investigation of NMDA Receptor Subunit Composition in the Developing Cat Visual System Following Brief Immersion in Darkness
(2020-08-11)During early postnatal development, the critical period is a time during which the visual system exhibits robust plasticity, and neural circuitry can be easily modified by changing levels of visually-driven activity. ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEAR LIPID DROPLET PROTEINS AND NUCLEAR LIPID DROPLET PROTEIN DYNAMICS
(2022-07-28)Aberrant lipid storage is a hallmark of many pathologies, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is characterized by an accumulation of lipids stored in lipid droplets (LDs) in the cytoplasm. A ... -
Investigation of P-H, O-H, and Si-H Oxidative Addition Involving Group 9 Metal PSiP Complexes
(2020-08-07)Group 9 transition metal pincer complexes have shown remarkable reactivity with respect to E-H (E = main group element) bond activation chemistry. In this context, this research focuses on developing new Ir and Rh complexes ... -
Investigation of Partial CO2 Capture Using Ash from CFB Boilers with Limestone Injection
(2016-12-15)Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) power plants have been gaining popularity globally due to its ability to utilize less expensive solid fuels, in-situ capture of SOx, low NOx emission and flexible operating characteristics. ... -
Investigation of Particle Size Increase of Micronized Copper Azole Preservative and the Effectiveness of Mixing Systems for Storage Tanks
(2024-04-15)Sedimentation in the holding tanks of the wood preservative micronized copper azole (MCA) is a key concern to the wood preservation industry. MCA is in suspension unlike other traditional preservative treating solutions. ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF PHOSPHO-REGULATION AND THE ROLE CTP:PHOSPHOCHOLINE CYTIDYLYLTRANSFERASE α IN PROMOTING RAS-INDUCED MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION OF INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS
(2019-11-28)CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha (CCTα) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of PC synthesis via the CDP-choline pathway. This study investigated CCTα regulation by phosphorylation using phospho-specific antibodies ... -
Investigation of Phyto-, Endo-, and Syntheto-cannabinoids in the Management of Osteoarthritis Pain and Inflammation in Rats
(2017-12-08)The most prevalent form of joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA), is characterised by joint destruction, pain, and intermittent inflammation. It has recently emerged that OA is also associated with damage to the sensory nerves ... -
Investigation of Post-Translational Modification and Function of the Yeast Plasmid Partitioning Proteins Rep1 and Rep2
(2012-12-20)The 2-micron circle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of a small number of similar DNA plasmids found only in budding yeast. To understand how this cryptic parasite persists, despite conferring no advantage to the host, ... -
Investigation of the ACyl Carrier Protein Binding Partners SpoT and AidB
(2010-05-03)Acyl carrier protein plays an essential role in bacterial fatty acid synthesis and has been recognized as an attractive new antibiotic target. In a previous study using TAP tagged ACP, we identified two ACP binding partners ... -
Investigation of the Amyloid Properties of Winter Flounder Antifreeze Protein (AFP6) and the Application of Aqueous Curcumin in the Detection of this Protein
(2021-05-05)A Pseudopleuronectes americanus antifreeze protein, AFP6, has previously been shown to form amyloid upon specific interaction with an ice surface. In this work, an in situ real-time assay for amyloid formation by amyloid ... -
An Investigation of the Anti-Cancer Effects of Apple Flavonoids Fraction 4 on Breast Cancer Cells
(2020-09-11)Cancer remains to be the one of the leading causes of death in Canada and the United States. In Canadian and American women, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths behind lung cancer, despite ... -
An Investigation of the Auditory Mismatch Negativity Elicited by Complex Stimuli in Early-Phase Psychosis
(2019-08-30)Introduction: Reduction of mismatch-negativity (MMN) has been well characterized in individuals with chronic schizophrenia. However, there is a lack of MMN research in early-phase psychosis (EPP). We investigated MMN ... -
