Molecular genetics of tryptophan biosynthesis in Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230.
(Dalhousie University, 1991) -
Molecular growth, aerosol formation and pyrolytic carbon deposition during the pyrolysis of ethane at high conversion.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
A Molecular Mechanics Study of Natural Product Polyphenols Interacting with beta-Amyloid
(2014-07-24)The most common form of neurodegenerative dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. One of the hallmarks of the disease is the presence of plaques, which is an aggregation of a peptide called amyloid-β. This aggregation occurs ... -
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF ERBB2-DRIVEN THREE-DIMENSIONAL BREAST TUMOR GROWTH.
(2019-11-28)The ability of breast cancer cells to survive anchorage-independently is thought to be a critical pre-requisite for breast carcinoma progression. Normal breast epithelial cells grow in vivo attached to the extracellular ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Myocardial Fibrosis Development
(2014-04-25)The prevention of heart failure in our aging population has become a healthcare priority. As part of the normal aging process patients have been shown to develop age-related myocardial fibrosis, which is characterized by ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Reovirus Oncolysis
(2013-02-06)Mammalian reovirus is a naturally benign virus that preferentially replicates in cancer cells (reovirus oncolysis) and has been tested as a potential cancer therapy in vitro, in vivo and in clinical trials for treating ... -
Molecular mechanisms underlying functional regeneration following nerve injury.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Molecular mechanisms underlying pattern formation in the mouse somatosensory cortex.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
MOLECULAR NEUROIMAGING IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: TARGETING BUTYRYLCHOLINESTERASE (BCHE) FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) AND SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (SPECT) IMAGING OF THE BRAIN
(2019-08-23)Currently, there are no effective means to definitively diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD) during life. Molecular imaging of β-amyloid (Aβ) or tau neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) pathology in the AD brain, though informative, ... -
Molecular Phylogeny of Amitochondriate Excavates
(2011-11-03)Resolving the phylogenetic tree of eukaryotes is an ongoing challenge for evolutionary biologists. One of the most intriguing questions is the phylogenetic status of Excavata, a group that is well supported by morphological ... -
The Molecular Profiling of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(2016-12-22)Personalized therapies against lung cancer provide more efficient treatment options than conventional therapies, as they target the genetic makeup. Current treatment options are available against EGFR or ALK genes mutations. ... -
Molecular signaling pathways regulating cation channels in ocular epithelial cells.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
Molecular studies on the evolution and diversity of aerobic halophilic archaea.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
MOLECULES INVOLVED IN THE SPIDER, CUPIENNIUS SALEI, MECHANOTRANSDUCTION
(2019-07-16)The molecular mechanisms involved in mechanical senses such as touch and vibration have been studied for decades using a small number of model preparations in species facilitating genetic manipulation. Recent advances ... -
MOMENT CONNECTIONS FOR WIDE-FLANGE BEAMS TO RHS COLUMNS
(2023-08-21)Since the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, physical testing and analytical studies have been conducted to develop ductile and moderately ductile connections for moment-resisting frames. In contrast, advancements ... -
Monitoring elasmobranch populations using scuba divers : patterns, trends and potential biase
(2015-04-13)Around the world, elasmobranch populations have undergone dramatic shifts - many large sharks have reached such low numbers that they may be at risk of extinction, while many smaller sharks and rays have increased in ... -
