Environmental factors, including pesticides, have been linked to autism and neurodegeneration risk using retrospective epidemiological studies. Here, we sought to prospectively identify chemicals that share transcriptomic signatures with neurological disorders by exposing mouse cortical neuron-enri...
Antitoxins are becoming recognized as proteins that regulate more than their own synthesis; for example, we found previously that antitoxin MqsA represses the gene encoding the stationary phase sigma factor RpoS. Here, we investigated the physiological role of antitoxin DinJ of the DinJ/YafQ toxin/a...
The goal of the study is to identify p53 target genes specific to macrophages using the p53 stabilizer, Nutlin-3. Macrophages were differentiated x-vivo from monocytes obtained from healthy volunteers either left untreated or treated for 2 hours with 100 ng/mL of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 0.1%v/v of...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an essential stabilizer of the tibiofemoral articulation. ACL tears often lead to functional instability and are associated with an increased risk for osteoarthritis. The healing potential of the injured ACL is poorly understood and is considered to be limited...
