Electrochemical properties of carbon nanoparticles entrapped in silica matrix
(Electrochemical Society, 2008)
and scanning electron microscope images of these films also confirmed the presence of the micropores as well as mesopores. A steep drop in the double layer capacitance with polar electrolytes was observed when the films were rendered hydrophilic upon exposure...
Disseminated chlorellosis in a dog

of histochemistical and electron microscopic examination. To the author's knowledge this is the first report of disseminated Chlorella infection and the first report in a companion animal....
Deep learning-based solutions for electron microscopy image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Electron microscopy (EM) enables capturing high resolution images of very small structures in biological and non-biological specimens such as membrane proteins, viruses, subcellular structures, nanoparticles, or material surfaces. Electron...
Ultrastructural damages in the brain induced by low-intensity primary blast wave : a transmission electron microscopy study on mild traumatic brain injury
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
predicted ultrastructural injuries at nanoscale levels. Here, using transmission electron microscopy, we examined the fine structure of neuroglial cells from our mouse model induced by open-field low-intensity blast exposure at two succinct time-points (one...
Ultrastructural Islet Study of Early Fibrosis in the Ren2 Rat Model of Hypertension Emerging Role of the Islet Pancreatic Pericyte-Stellate Cell
(Journal of the Pancreas, 2007)
) in the pathogenesis of early islet fibrosis utilizing the transgenic (mRen2)27 rodent model of hypertension and tissue RAS overexpression. The Ren2 pancreatic islet tissue was evaluated with transmission electron microscopy to study both early cellular...
Mineralocorticoid Receptor Blockade Attenuates Chronic Overexpression of the Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System Stimulation of Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase and Cardiac Remodeling
(Endocrinology, 2007-08)
septal wall thickness (cine-magnetic resonance imaging) were accompanied by perivascular fibrosis, increased mitochondria, and other ultrastructural changes visible by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Although...
Green nanotechnology from cumin phytochemicals : generation of biocompatible gold nanoparticles
(NIH Public Access, 2009)
The powerful antioxidant characteristics of various phytochernicals within cumin prompted us to test their efficacy in reducing sodium tetrachloroaurate to corresponding gold nanoparticles. We, herein, report an unprecedented ...
Oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to angiotensin II-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in transgenic ren2 rats
(American Society for Investigative Pathology, 2009)
Emerging evidence indicates that impaired mitochondrial fatty acid [beta]-oxidation plays a key role in liver steatosis. We have recently demonstrated that increased angiotensin (ANG) II causes progressive hepatic steatosis ...
Green nanotechnology from tea : phytochemicals in tea as building blocks for production of biocompatible gold nanoparticles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
Phytochemicals occluded in tea have been extensively used as dietary supplements and as natural pharmaceuticals in the treatment of various diseases including human cancer. Results on the reduction capabilities of ...
Generation, collection and characterization of nanoparticles and their diffusion in arbitrary tumor and normal tissue geometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
distribution of these nanoparticles using a Scanning Mobility Particle Spectrometer. We designed a nanoparticle collection cell to collect the nanoparticles efficiently, analyzed the nanoparticles for shape and size using Tunneling Electron Microscopy (TEM...
Acylation of the Lipooligosaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae and Colonization: an htrB Mutation Diminishes the Colonization of Human Airway Epithelial Cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
transferase (rfaF) involved in the synthesis of the LOS core and a ketodeoxyoctonate phosphate-dependent acyltransferase (htrB) that performs one of the late acylation reactions in lipid A synthesis. Inoculation of human bronchiolar xenografts revealed a...
Identification and characterization of M cells in the mammalian conjunctiva
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
the hypothesis that the Guinea pig conjunctival FAE contains an antigen-sampling M cell. A cell with typical M-cell characteristics was identified in the conjunctival FAE using a variety of microscopy techniques. These putative M cells selectively bound...

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism attenuates vascular apoptosis and injury via rescuing protein kinase B activation
(American Heart Association, 2008)
Emerging evidence indicates that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade reduces the risk of cardiovascular events beyond those predicted by its blood pressure-lowering actions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain ...
Development of a flexible image-based approach for studying signal transduction in isolated arterioles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Myogenic constriction in arterioles occurs when membrane tension leads to smooth muscle depolarization and voltage-gated calcium channel activation. A barrier to understanding the exact signaling events is the limited ...
