Investigating the evolution and functionality of closely related Wnt ligands in Drosophila melanogaster
… then undertaken to understand whether Drosophila wg can be functionally replaced by its ancient paralog Wnt6, thus functional evolution within the Wnt ligand family. Drosophila Wnt6 was found to be unable to functionally replace Drosophila wg. This indicates that specific protein domains present …

Growth of Pigs With Viral and Bacterial Pneumonia
… and mRNA in skeletal muscle, and decreased FI, WG, PA and the mass of several skeletal muscles, but neither Mh nor the MhxPRRSV interaction were significant. The Mh-induced lung lesions, however, were 3- to 5-times greater in pigs with both Mh and PRRSV than in those with Mh alone. Correcting WG …

RacGap50C Is a Novel Negative Regulator of Wnt Signaling
<p>The Wingless (Wg)/Wnt signal transduction pathway directs a variety of cell fate decisions in developing animal embryos. Despite the identification of many Wg pathway components to date, it is still not clear how these proteins work together to generate cellular identities. We have carried out a …

Regulation of Wingless secretion, distribution and signaling
… best studied Drosophila Wnt homolog, Wingless (Wg). My studies have shed light on three aspects of the regulation of Wg/Wnt signaling. First, I systematically analyzed the roles of two major post-translational modifications of Wg. By using multiple in vitro and in vivo systems, my work provides …

Thewingless Signaling Pathway Specifies Fates in the Drosophila Embryonic CNS
The secreted proto-oncogene Wnt-1/Wingless (Wg) functions as an intercellular signaling molecule in many developmental processes. Studies in Drosophila have revealed that wg encodes positional necessary to regulate segmental identity during embryogenesis. This thesis examines the function of the …

The Effect of Balance-Based Torso-Weighting on Mobility, Gait, Balance, Postural Control, and Falls Efficacy in Mobility Limited Older Adults
… were randomized into a weighted group (WG, n =17) or a sham weighted group (SWG, n = 16). Repeated-measures analyses of variance indicated a significant group x time interaction on mobility variables (p = .096). The WG improved in Short Physical Performance Battery scores (1.25 points, p …

Investigation of the role of polyploidization in glial cells during the development of the drosophila nervous system
… in the peripheral nervous system, wrapping glia (WG), is polyploid and determined that total WG ploidy correlates with nerve length. Interestingly, when WG ploidy was reduced, we found that axonal ensheathment is defective. We also established that the three WG per peripheral nerve differentially …

Odd-paired: a zinc finger pair-rule protein required for the timely activation of engrailed and wingless in Drosophila embryos
… for the appropriate level and timing of en and wg expression in all parasegments, but opa activity alone does not determine the restricted spatial domains of these genes. I summarize some of the pair-rule circuitry through which opa acts to regulate en and wg expression in parasegment border …

Sea state estimation from inertial platform data for real-time ocean wave prediction
… improved spatio-temporal data. The wave glider (WG) is one such autonomous marine robot used for persistent ocean research and other maritime activities, and forms the focus of this study. The WG is a low power USV/UUV hybrid that harnesses wave energy for propulsion, and has a small solar- and …

Changes in Pancreatic and Jejunal Histopatholgy and Serum IFN-γ, TNF-α Levels in Type 1 Diabetes: Role of Chloroform Methanol Soluble Gliadin Proteins
… soluble GSLEE from the wheat gluten based diet (WG) when compared to the WG diet alone. Removing GSLEE from WG diet resulted in insignificant increase in serum TNF-α concentration in BBdp rats when compared to WG dietary treatment group's BBdp rats. However, there were no significant differences …

Wegener'sche Granulomatose
Die Wegener'sche Granulomatose (WG) ist eine Autoimmunerkrankung, die sich typischerweise als chronische Entzündung des oberen Respirationstraktes, Vaskulitis und Glomerulonephritis manifestiert. WG gehört zur Gruppe der sog. “pauci-immunen” Vaskulitiden, die mit Anti-Neutrophilen-Antikörpern …

Studies on the Epidemiology and Outcome of Primary Systemic Vasculitis
… Vasculitides [PSV: Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)] are rare systemic diseases of unknown etiology; if untreated, they are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Changes in the …

Hardware Implementations for Symmetric Key Cryptosystems
… of two members of the Welch-Gong (WG) family of stream ciphers, the WG$left(29,11right)$ and WG-$16$, are considered for the mobile communications domain. Optimizations in the WG$left(29,11right)$ stream cipher are considered when the $GFleft(2^{29}right)$ elements are represented …

The role of Decapentaplegic (Dpp) in Drosophila wing development
… whether cross talk among the Hh, Dpp and Wg signaling pathways exists and what its relevance for wing patterning is. To investigate the role of Dpp in Drosophila wing development, the general strategies are to look at the phenotypes of loss-of-function and gain-of-function. Mutant clones …

The role of FOXK transcription factors in Wnt signal transduction
… the function of FOX proteins in general during Wg signalling in the fly. I found that a previously published FoxK fly mutant does not carry a FoxK null allele and consequently generated new knockout alleles using CRISPR/Cas9. Phenotypic analysis identified a function for FoxK during early …
