The role of Toll-like receptors in Mast cell activation.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
The Role of Transcription and Chromatin in Making Long-Term Memories
(2023-08-17)Long-term memory (LTM) requires transcription and accessible chromatin for formation, however, the genes that are activated and how they promote LTM remains unclear. Here, we profiled the memory transcriptome induced in ... -
ROLE OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR EB (TFEB) IN CARDIAC HEALTH AND DISEASE
(2020-12-18)Cardiomyopathy is prevalent and the leading cause of mortality among obese and diabetic patients. Abnormalities in cardiac energy metabolism trigger myocyte dysfunction that precedes the onset of cardiomyopathy. Lack of ... -
Role of Transcription Factor EB in obesity mediated cardiac dysfunction
(2023-08-21)Lipotoxic complications drive impairment in cardiac function during obesity. Specifically, palmitate toxicity induces ER stress, calcium mishandling and perturbations in lysosomal function by downregulating transcription ... -
The role of transforming growth factor beta signaling in human ovarian cancer cells.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
THE ROLE OF TYRAMINE IN MODULATION OF SPIDER, CUPIENNIUS SALEI, MECHANORECEPTORS
(2015-04-29)Efferent neurons containing GABA, glutamate, acetylcholine and octopamine (OA) innervate spider, Cupiennius salei, mechanosensory neurons. The spider leg transcriptome library contains several putative transmitter receptors ... -
THE ROLE OF TYROSINASE IN THE TIME COURSE OF LIGHT-INDUCED CONE MOVEMENTS IN GOLDFISH RETINA
(2016-04-08)Many teleosts regulate the amount of light incident to the retina through retinomotor movements (RMMs), adjustments of the length of photoreceptors and the distribution of melanin within retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). ... -
The role of vasculature during the development of intramembranous bones of the chick, Gallus gallus
(2014-08-19)Intramembranous bone development is a complex multi-step process which relies on extensive interactions between bone cells and surrounding tissue types. The embryonic vasculature, composed primarily of vascular endothelial ... -
ROLE OF WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ON CROP DIVERSIFICATION: EVIDENCE FROM RURAL BANGLADESH
(2020-12-17)As arable land is declining and global climate is changing, crop diversification has become a desirable tool for safeguarding livelihood of farming household from extreme climate events, ensuring food security, and dietary ... -
THE ROLE OF YAP SIGNALLING IN STRESSORS ASSOCIATED WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(2023-08-23)Due to myocardial infarction (MI) a loss of viable cardiomyocytes significantly reduces cardiac function and patients’ quality of life. This loss is caused partly by definitive stressors as a result of ischemia. The Yap ... -
The Role of β-adrenergic Signalling and Natriuretic Peptide Receptors in Cardiac Myofibroblast Proliferation and Differentiation
(2016-01-14)Uncontrolled proliferation of cardiac myofibroblasts (CMFs) leads to increased extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, resulting in cardiac fibrosis. Cardiac fibrosis occurs in many forms of heart disease and increases ... -
The role science plays in science education.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
The roles of cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protiens 1 and 2 in the polarization of M1 and M2 macrophages
(2018-09-28)This thesis examined the effects of genetic ablation of the anti-apoptotic protein cIAP2 and SMAC mimetic (LCL161)-induced cIAP1 and cIAP2 suppression on the polarization of pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) ... -
THE ROLES OF CHEMOKINES, CHEMOKINE RECEPTORS AND GLYCOLIPID ACTIVATION IN NKT CELL TUMOUR INFILTRATION
(2017-05-11)Higher levels of NKT cell infiltration correlate with improved prognosis in many human cancers. Therefore, we sought to identify factors which contribute to this process. We identified three chemokine receptors, CXCR3, ... -
The roles of child reactivity and parenting context in infant pain response.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
The Roles of Heat Shock Factor during Diapause and Stress Tolerance in the Crustacean Artemia franciscana
(2018-09-04)Encysted embryos of the crustacean Artemia franciscana enter diapause, a developmental state of greatly reduced metabolic activity and enhanced stress tolerance that allows survival under adverse environmental conditions. ... -
Roles of Myopodin in Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling and Cancer Cell Migration
(2015-04-28)Loss of myopodin expression correlates with the transition from indolent to metastatic prostate cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying this correlation and the roles of myopodin in normal cell function have not been ... -
Roles of sex steroids in reproduction of the sea scallop.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
Roles of sodium and integration host factor in the virulence and developmental cycle of Legionella pneumophila.
