Identifying priorities and developing collaborative action plans to improve accessible housing practice, policy, and research in Canada Open
This article describes the development of priorities and actions to improve the state of research, policy, and practice related to accessible housing in Canada for persons with disability or with accessible housing needs. A modified Delphi…

Spatial Learning and Memory in the Naked Mole-Rat: Evolutionary Adaptations to a Subterranean Niche Open
Evolutionary adaptation to a subterranean habitat consisting of extensive underground tunnel systems would presumably require adept spatial learning and memory, however, such capabilities have not been characterized to date in naked mole-r…

The ERG1A K+ Channel Is More Abundant in Rectus abdominis Muscle from Cancer Patients Than that from Healthy Humans Open
Background: The potassium channel encoded by the ether-a-gogo-related gene 1A (erg1a) has been detected in the atrophying skeletal muscle of mice experiencing either muscle disuse or cancer cachexia and further evidenced to contribute to m…

MERG1A Protein Abundance Increases in the Atrophied Skeletal Muscle of Denervated Mice, But Does Not Affect NFκB Activity Open
Skeletal muscle atrophy may occur with disease, injury, decreased muscle use, starvation, and normal aging. No reliably effective treatments for atrophy are available, thus research into the mechanisms contributing to muscle loss is essent…

The ERG1 Potassium Channel is More Abundant in Skeletal Muscle from Cachectic than Healthy Humans Open
Background: The ERG1a potassium channel has been detected in the atrophying skeletal muscle of mice experiencing either muscle disuse or cancer cachexia and further evidenced to contribute to muscle deterioration by enhancing ubiquitin pro…

The ERG1a potassium channel increases basal intracellular calcium concentration and calpain activity in skeletal muscle cells Open
Background Skeletal muscle atrophy is the net loss of muscle mass that results from an imbalance in protein synthesis and protein degradation. It occurs in response to several stimuli including disease, injury, starvation, and normal aging…

Ether-a-go-go related gene-1a potassium channel abundance varies within specific skeletal muscle fiber type Open
The ERG1A K+ channel, which is partially responsible for repolarization of the cardiac action potential, has also been reported in skeletal muscle where it modulates ubiquitin proteolysis. Because ERG1A protein appears variably expressed i…

ERG1A POTASSIUM CHANNEL ABUNDANCE VARIES WITHIN SPECIFIC SKELETAL MUSCLE AND FIBER TYPE Open
Skeletal muscle atrophy results from an imbalance of protein degradation and protein synthesis which produces a net loss of protein. This loss occurs mainly through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (UPP). The ether-a-go-go related gene (ER…

Emotional Intelligence in Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum Open
People with agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) with normal general intelligence have deficits in complex cognitive processing, as well as in social cognition. It is uncertain the extent to which impoverished processing of emotions may …
