Activation processes in biology
Many processes in physics and biology can be understand through the framework of escape from a metastable state, including (but not limited to) the rates of chemical reactions, the unfolding of proteins, the nucleation of bubbles, and the condensation of gases. To understand the kinetics of these …

Cholesterol and egg activation
The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor SR-BI controls the structure and fate of plasma HDL. The SR-BI knockout (KO) females are infertile, apparently due to their abnormal, cholesterol-enriched HDL particles. In this thesis, my colleagues and I examined the growth and meiotic progression of …

The activation of stereotypical knowledge
… The goal of Experiments 1 and 3 was to test for activation of stereotypical knowledge. Participants read passages about protagonists described in situations in which stereotypical knowledge was likely to become activated. Following the descriptions, target sentences were presented that were …

Kinin System Activation in Vasculitis
… antibodies (ANCAs). Theoretically kinin system activation may explain some of the inflammation seen during vasculitis. In this thesis we demonstrate, for the first time, activation of the kinin system in patients with vasculitis. Elevated kinin levels were demonstrated in the circulation and …

Caspase isoforms in inflammasome activation
… the host defence against microbial infections. Activation of inflammasomes leads to the processing of the pro-inflammatory cytokines pro-IL-1β and pro- IL-18 to their active form and cleavage of gasdermin D to induce pyroptosis. Caspase-1 is the main inflammatory caspase responsible for cytokine …

Mechanochemical activation at solid interfaces
… of surface chemistry changes resulting from activation of force-sensitive mechanophore modified interfaces remains largely unexplored. In this dissertation, two different functionalization approaches to molecularly tailor interfacial changes are investigated. First, the influence of SAM tail …

CH activation and CH2 double activation of indolines: towards the synthesis of aspidospermidine and aspidofractinine
This thesis is concerned with the total synthesis of the two Aspidosperma alkaloid natural products, aspidospermidine and aspidofractinine. The two targets have a common pentacyclic molecular framework unique to this class of indole alkaloids.<br/><br/>Aspidospermidine has previously proven an …

CRISPR activation screening at single-cell transcriptomic resolution: discovering new regulators of zygotic genome activation
… the depletion of maternal products and the activation of the zygotic genome. Zygotic genome activation, or ZGA, coincides with dramatic epigenetic reprogramming processes and is likely orchestrated by the interplay of epigenetic and transcriptional regulators. In this dissertation, I develop …

Molecular genetic mechanisms of eosinophil activation in aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease : Genetic mechanisms of eosinophil activation
… phenotypes of asthma. Persistent eosinophil activation finding in both upper and lower airway mucosa is a central feature of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). As interleukin (IL)-5 mediated signal transduction has been shown to participate in survival and effector function of …

Semantic activation abnormalities in disorganized schizotypy.
To better understand the relationship between disorganized schizotypy and loose associations, we calculated semantic distances between successive responses on the Category Fluency Test (CFT), using WINDSORS (Windsor Improved Norms of Distance and Similarity of Representations of Semantics; Durda & …

Rab5 Activation by the Vps9 Domain
The movement of proteins through the endocytic pathway is a complex and highly regulated process. Not only is this pathway used to internalize cellular nutrients, but it is also used to modulate a cell's response to extracellular stimuli. Internalization and subsequent trafficking of transmembrane …

FREE-BASE PORPHYRIN FOR CO2 ACTIVATION
Chapter I: Introduction The human influence in the raise of the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide registered in the last decades up to the actual alarming situation is clear. The most evident consequence is the global warming, but this is only one of the problems correlated to emissions …

Multiple Electrode Recording of Cardiac Activation.
Cardiac activation has been the subject of much research since its first practical clinical recording by Wilhelm Einthoven who in 1903 produced an electrocardiogram using a string galvanometer. This report describes a multiple electrode device which has been used to record the electrical activation …
