Role of Iron Chelation in Inflammation and Infection
(2021-09-14)Iron is an essential element for most forms of life, as its redox-cycling capabilities enable its participation in numerous physiological reactions. However, iron levels must be tightly regulated to avoid free iron toxicity ... -
THE ROLE OF IRON CHELATION IN PULMONARY INFLAMMATION
(2021-08-31)Iron plays a critical role in the human body, e.g., in hemoglobin and DNA synthesis, but it is also important in the regulation of the immune response. Iron’s role in the immune system is closely related to the catalysis ... -
The Role of K+ Channels in Cell Proliferation and Cell Volume Regulation in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
(2011-08-19)K+ channels are expressed in a wide variety of cell types, including airway epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of various Kv and KCa channels in cell proliferation and cell volume ... -
Role of Krebs cycle acids in promoting ergot alkaloid production by claviceps species
(Dalhousie Printing Centre, 1981) -
The Role of KSHV microRNAs in Bypass of Oncogene-Induced Senescence
(2016-12-05)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the infectious cause of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS). KSHV has the ability to bypass a host anti-proliferative defense, oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), triggered by chronic ... -
The role of lateral gene transfer in prokaryotic evolution.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
THE ROLE OF LIPID PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE 3 IN CARDIAC ENERGY METABOLISM
(2023-07-31)Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that is generated by autotaxin (ATX) in circulation and is implicated in obesity induced cardiomyopathy. LPA signaling is terminated by lipid phosphate phosphatase 3 (LPP3) ... -
The Role of Long Relaxation Times in a Simple Model with Massless Modes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2018) -
THE ROLE OF LYSOPHOSPHATIDIC ACID AND AUTOTAXIN IN OBESITY-INDUCED CARDIAC INSULIN RESISTANCE
(2017-08-09)The metabolic changes to adipose tissue during obesity can induce cardiac insulin resistance. During obesity and diabetes, cardiac metabolic flexibility is reduced, which may lead to impaired ATP production, elevated ... -
The role of marine macrophytes in providing essential ecosystem services: Their relative contribution and how services are impacted by eutrophication
(2012-12-14)Most coastal ecosystems are dominated by marine macrophytes that deliver a range of ecologically and economically important services such as carbon and nitrogen cycling and storage, and habitat provision to a range of ... -
The role of mast cells and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in host defence and pathology following Chlamydia infection
(2019-01-15)Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection and the leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of immune responses to Ct, and how they lead to ... -
Role of Membrane Curvature and Exosome Secretion during FAST-Mediated Cell-Cell Fusion
(2016-12-05)The fusogenic reoviruses are a unique group of viruses that encode Fusion-Associated Small Transmembrane (FAST) proteins, a family of non-structural membrane proteins that induce cell-cell membrane fusion in infected cells. ... -
THE ROLE OF MICROTUBULES IN ATRIAL MECHANO-ARRHYTHMOGENESIS
(2022-08-08)In the heart, electrical excitation causes mechanical contraction, while feedback of the heart’s mechanical state alters its electrical activity. With mechanical overload, this feedback can result in mechano-arrhythmogenesis ... -
THE ROLE OF MITOCHONDRIAL ANTIOXIDANT ENZYME SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE 2 (SOD2) IN PLURIPOTENCY AND DIFFERENTIATION
(2020-09-11)The mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is important for maintaining mitochondrial integrity and keeping the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) low. Small populations of poorly-differentiated ... -
The role of muscle proteins in the retention of carotenoid in Atlantic salmon flesh.

The Role of Mycorrhizae and Soil in Plant Establishment in Natural Ecosystems
(Balaban Publishers, 1990) -
Role of MyD88 in diminished tumor necrosis factor alpha production by newborn mononuclear cells in response to lipopolysaccharide
(2004-03)No abstract available. -
Role of Na(v)1.6 and Visual Experience in Retinal and Brain Maturation during the Early Postnatal Period
(2016-08-31)The Scn8a gene encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel isoform Nav1.6, playing a key role in saltatory conduction across the nodes of Ranvier in the CNS. One Scn8a mutation, termed degenerating muscle (dmu) (Scn8admu/dmu) ... -
The Role of NCK in DCC-Sensitive Spinal Cord Circuits
(2016-01-19)Non-Catalytic region of tyrosine Kinase (NCK) adaptor proteins connect cell surface receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. In the central nervous system loss of NCK proteins leads to a hopping like phenotype¬. We were ...
