The effect of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside on oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiac iron overload
(2013-02-01)
Chronic cardiac iron overload directly correlates with cardiac dysfunction and
may ultimately cause heart failure. Although recent studies have suggested that altered
calcium homeostasis and increased reactive oxygen ...
Safety from predators or competitors? Interference competition leads to apparent predation risk
(2013-02-01)
Prey often react to predation risk by foraging preferentially in safe, rather than risky, patches. Yet prey also must deal with the negative effects of competition for the same patches. The pattern of patch use can mimic ...
The carcinogenic properties of naturally occurring human papillomavirus 16 E6 oncogene variants
(2013-02-03)
Human papillomavirus is the causative agent of the 2nd highest occurring cancer in women, cervical cancer, which is the result of expression of the E6 and E7 oncogenes. Here we challenged the dogma that the oncogenic protein ...
Population genetics and phylogeography of aplodinotus grunniens (freshwater drum)
(2013-02-03)
The purpose of this study is to determine the population genetic and phylogeographic structure of Aplodinotus grunniens (freshwater drum) populations through analysis of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) region and ...
Identification of genes involved in early endodormancy break in potato tubers
(2013)
The growth and harvest of potato tubers for agricultural purposes is important both in Canada and worldwide, and the agronomic importance of this crop is steadily growing. A major issue affecting the storage and transport ...
Lipoic acid and its potential role in the treatment of oxidative-induced injury of A549 lung epithelial cells
(2013-02-01)
Oxidative stress is the imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants within a cell that can cause and/or contribute to the progression of many pathological conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed from the ...
The life cycle of human papillomavirus type 16 E6 variants and its effects on the innate immune system of host keratinocytes
(2013-02-01)
Persistent infection with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the primary aetiological agent for cervical cancer. Viral particles initiate their life cycle by infecting basal keratinocytes of epithelium and amplifying ...
