This Art & Illustration Resource contains the figures (photographs, illustrations etc.) in the 5th edition Cell and Molecular Biology; What We Know AND How We Found Out (all versions). The images are high-resolution JPG files, sufficient for projection in large size classrooms, and thus useful for creating or supplementing PowerPoint or similar presentations to support classroom, online teaching and learning, and/or to support in-class or homework assignments. Just download and extract the zipped folder to access the chapter-by-chapter numbered figure files. The images are also Open Access (either public domain, CC-licensed, or equivalent). The Chapter-by-Chapter folders come with a …


The Role Of The Basement Membrane In Basal Tissue Folding, Elizabeth Falat May 2022

The Role Of The Basement Membrane In Basal Tissue Folding, Elizabeth Falat

Theses and Dissertations

The ability of organs and tissues to function properly is reliant on the correct formation of shape. Proper morphogenesis is carefully regulated by both intracellular dynamics and extracellular mechanical forces. Using the highly conserved zebrafish midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB), we investigated the role of the basement membrane, a specialized extracellular matrix that basally lines the tissue, in mediating cell shapes and mechanical tissue stresses during basal tissue folding. A primary component of the basement membrane is laminin-111, a heterotrimer composed of the alpha1, beta1 and gamma1 chains, encoded by lama1, lamb1a, and lamc1 genes respectively. We investigated the role of each …


Development Of New Treatments For Asthma And Neuropathic Pain Based On Ɣ-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptor (Gabaar) Ligands, Nicolas Mark Zahn May 2022

Development Of New Treatments For Asthma And Neuropathic Pain Based On Ɣ-Aminobutyric Acid A Receptor (Gabaar) Ligands, Nicolas Mark Zahn

Theses and Dissertations

The γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABAAR) is a ligand-gated pentameric chloride channel consisting of several identified subunits: α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ, ρ1-3.1-2 Typical arrangement of subunits consists of two α subunits, two β subunits, and one γ subunit.3 GABAARs have two binding sites for the endogenous ligand γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), between the α and β subunits. GABAARs also have a binding site for positive allosteric modulators, such as benzodiazepines, between the α and γ subunits.4-5 Due to their ability to treat anxiety, epilepsy, insomnia, and muscle relaxation, benzodiazepines are widely prescribed pharmaceuticals.6-7 Still, adverse effects result from …
