Studying polaritons in low symmetry materials through attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy

Pradhan, Mohit

This comprehensive document explores the polaritons in low-symmetry anisotropic materials, and the methods developed to study them. We use Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) reflectance spectroscopy to study the infrared optical phonons of the monoclinic crystals BiBO and bGO, and FTIR attenuated total reflectance (ATR)...

Herpes simplex virus 1 envelope glycoprotein C shields glycoprotein D to protect virions from entry-blocking antibodies

Hull, McKenna A.

Like many other viruses, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) has acquired a range of immune evasive strategies that have aided in spread and persistence of the virus in human populations. During viral entry, HSV-1 glycoprotein D (gD) must interact with its cognate receptor, nectin-1, making gD essential for entry into host...

Assessing the biological effect of a novel non-thermal plasma (NTP) gas on periodontal disease

Dzieza, Angelika

NTP treatment significantly reduced alveolar bone loss in LIP mice, as evidenced by micro-CT analysis (0.58 ± 0.16 mm vs. 0.84 ± 0.07 mm, p = 0.032). Histological analysis confirmed tissue integrity upon NTP treatment. TUNEL staining showed no increase in apoptosis, while TRAP staining revealed reduced osteoclast activ...

Effects of an Intravenously Administered Soluble Amyloid Precursor Protein-Alpha Gene Therapy on Neuropathology in the 5xFAD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Cowie, Isabella Clementine

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterised by progressive cognitive decline associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, tau pathology, synaptic dysfunction and neuroinflammation. While most therapeutic strategies target Aβ clearance, another area of focus is enhancing neuroprotective pathways. Soluble amyloid precursor p...
