Biological responses of ligament and tendon graft-derived fibroblasts to clinical levels of cyclic strain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments in the knee. ACL injury is the partial or complete tear of the ACL usually as a consequence of a traumatic sports related injury. ACL injury commonly affects ... -
Comparative study of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and type 2 single and dual infections
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) type 1 and type 2 are two related lentiviruses that have strikingly divergent features in terms of transmission rates, distribution, pathogenesis, and clinical outcomes. In places where ... -
Contribution of TRPV4 to enhanced calcium cycling and cardiac arrhythmia following ischemia-reperfusion in aged mouse hearts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homeostasis is altered with aging and predisposes the Aged heart to Ca2+ intolerance and arrhythmia. Transient Receptor ... -
Foot and ankle functional morphology in anthropoid primates and Miocene hominoids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Locomotion is essential for survival in many taxa. It also varies greatly among organisms, including primates. Studying locomotor diversity in extant and fossil primates requires an understanding of form-function relationships. ... -
Improving ligament tissue scaffold with the use of genipin and gold nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Decellularized tissue is used for a wide array of tissue injuries with tendon and ligament repair being among the most common. However, despite their frequent use there is concern over the lengthy inflammatory period and ... -
Mechanisms for chlorinated lipids in sepsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Sepsis induces the formation of proinflammatory chlorinated lipids, stimulates adhesive interactions between the endothelium and leukocytes/platelets, causes mast cell activation, disrupts the microvascular barrier and ... -
