Development of Sensitive In Vitro Assays to Assess the Ocular Toxicity Potential of Chemicals and Ophthalmic Products
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)The utilization of in vitro tests with a tiered testing strategy for detection of mild ocular irritants can reduce the use of animals for testing, provide mechanistic data on toxic effects, and reduce the uncertainty ... -
The Effects of Copper Availability on Mitochondrial Function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Copper (Cu) is crucial for cell function and survival and plays important roles in enzyme-catalyzed metabolic processes, transport of cargo through cellular membranes, and protein breakdown. The mitochondria are home to ... -
Genome analysis reveals unexpected absence of oxygen metabolic capacity in helminths
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-06)Oxygen metabolism in parasitic helminths differs significantly from that of most aerobic eukaryotes, as these organisms must be able to switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolisms depending on their life-cycle stage. ... -
Mitochondrial Function and Optical Properties of the Crystalline Lens
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-15)The crystalline lens is a unique cellular organ that performs metabolic processes while maintaining optical functionality. Mitochondria play a vital role in providing the cell with the energy necessary for these metabolic ...
