Genome wide SNP discovery in flax through next generation sequencing of reduced representation libraries
(2012-12-06)Abstract Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a significant fibre and oilseed crop. Current flax molecular markers, including isozymes, RAPDs, AFLPs and SSRs are of limited use in the ... -
Genome-wide gene expression profiling of stress response in a spinal cord clip compression injury model
(2013-08-28)Abstract Background The aneurysm clip impact-compression model of spinal cord injury (SCI) is a standard injury model in animals that closely mimics the primary mechanism of most human injuries: ... -
Genotyping an immunodeficiency causing c.1624–11G>A ZAP70 mutation in Canadian Mennonites
(2016-07-22)Abstract Background Primary immunodeficiency is a life-threatening genetic disease that appeared to have an increased incidence in Manitoba Mennonites. Determining the genetic ... -
Geo-epidemiology of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis: comparison between four ethnically diverse populations
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2023-03-08)Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs across the globe in different ethnic populations. Most RA patients harbor anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPA); ... -
Geographic and facility-level variation in the use of peritoneal dialysis in Canada: a cohort study
(CMA, 2014)Background Peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar survival and similar improvement in quality of life and is less costly compared with in-centre hemodialysis. We examined facility and geographic variation in the ... -
Geographical variation analysis of all-cause hospital readmission cases in Winnipeg, Canada
(2015-04-01)Abstract Background Hospital readmission is costly and potentially avoidable. The concept of virtual wards as a new model of care is intended to reduce hospital readmissions ... -
Germline mosaicism in X-linked periventricular nodular heterotopia
(2014-06-07)Abstract Background X-linked periventricular nodular heterotopia is a disorder of neuronal migration resulting from mutations in the filamin A gene. This is an X-linked dominant condition ... -
Ghrelin: Central Nervous System Sites of Action in Regulation of Energy Balance
(2010-2-15)Ghrelin, a peptide hormone secreted by the stomach, has been shown to regulate energy homeostasis by modulating electrical activity of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). Like many circulating satiety signals, ... -
Glia and TRPM2 Channels in Plasticity of Central Nervous System and Alzheimer’s Diseases
(2016-1-28)Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of neurons to strengthen or weaken synaptic efficacy in response to activity and is the basis for learning and memory. Glial cells communicate with neurons and in this way contribute ... -
Glia maturation factor gamma regulates the migration and adherence of human T lymphocytes
(2012-04-18)AbstractBackgroundLymphocyte migration and chemotaxis are essential for effective immune surveillance. A critical aspect of migration is cell polarization and the extension of pseudopodia in the direction of movement. ... -

Global Gene Expression Profiling in PPAR-γ Agonist-Treated Kidneys in an Orthologous Rat Model of Human Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease
(2012-5-13)Kidneys are enlarged by aberrant proliferation of tubule epithelial cells leading to the formation of numerous cysts, nephron loss, and interstitial fibrosis in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Pioglitazone (PIO), a PPAR-γ ... -
Globalization and Autonomy: An Overview
(2009)This article introduces the Globalization and Autonomy research project, dedicated to understanding globalizing processes through the lens of autonomy, and the special issue to which it has led. It describes the initial ... -
Gonadectomy in Mito-Ob mice revealed a sex-dimorphic relationship between prohibitin and sex steroids in adipose tissue biology and glucose homeostasis
(2018-08-29)Abstract Background Recently, we have developed a novel transgenic mouse model by overexpressing prohibitin (PHB) in adipocytes, which developed obesity due to upregulation ... -
Governance, maternal well-being and early childhood caries in 3–5-year-old children
(2020-06-05)Abstract Background This study assessed the direct, indirect and total effect of distal – political - risk indicators (affecting populations), and proximal risk indicators (affecting women) on the global prevalence of ... -
Graduate Student Use and Non-use of Reference and PDF Management Software: An Exploratory Study
(Elsevier, 2018)Graduate students at the University of Manitoba were surveyed to find out if they used reference management software (RMS), features used, challenges and barriers to using RMS. Interest in different types of PDF management ...
