A Proteomic Analysis Of Corydoras Sterbai Secretions And Tissues, Erik Powell Wictor
A Proteomic Analysis Of Corydoras Sterbai Secretions And Tissues, Erik Powell Wictor
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Defensive mechanisms vary widely in the animal kingdom ranging from physical defenses like spines to chemical defenses such as toxins. Toxins in these secretions and tissues can fluctuate from enzymes to lipids to uncharacterized chemicals. Next generation -omics technology and mass spectrometry are extremely important in analyzing these samples because of their ability to distinguish minute amounts of toxic substance within a complicated sample. The goal of this experiment was to look at secretions and tissues from Corydoras sterbai. All samples in this study were proteolyzed using a mixture of Trypsin and Lys-C, fractionated, and run through nanoLC-MS/MS analysis using …
Proteomic Analysis Of Fetal Rat Neural Stem Cells After Treatment With Hericium Erinaceus, Bright Adam Test
Proteomic Analysis Of Fetal Rat Neural Stem Cells After Treatment With Hericium Erinaceus, Bright Adam Test
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The fungus, Hericium erinaceus, has outstanding chemical properties, displaying health benefits in digestive, hepatic, and nervous tissues. Its ease of accessibility and use makes it one of the most common substances used for treatment in Eastern medicine. More and more recent research is confirming the incredible health benefits of this fungus, especially the impact that is seen on nervous tissue growth and recovery post-treatment. Such neurite outgrowth and myelin sheath regeneration could illustrate the beginning of the cure to lifelong neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. In this first-of-its-kind study, we cultured and differentiated fetal rat neural stem cells while …
