Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that dissipates stored energy as heat to maintain body temperature in infants and small mammals. This process may also provide protection from development of diet-induced obesity. We found that the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LP...

The BF-3 pocket of the androgen receptor (AR) has been identified as an allosteric modulator of the transactivation function of the AR. We now demonstrate that a duplicated GARRPR motif at the N-terminus of the cochaperone Bag-1L functions through this BF-3 domain. Amino acid exchanges in these two ...

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) holds therapeutic potential for obesity and metabolic syndrome via increasing energy expenditure. Both inter- and intra-individual differences contribute to heterogeneity in human BAT and potentially to differential thermogenic capacity in human populations. Here, we demon...

We used microarrays to determine if miRNA expression in human airway smooth muscle cells is altered by a pro-inflammatory stimulus. A majority of the miRNAs on the array exhibited very low signal intensity. In ASM cells exposed to IL-1β, TNFα, and IFNγ, none of the miRNA expressed were signific...

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) has been widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications as a surfactant and stain repellent. PFOS causes liver damage (including liver tumors) in experimental animals, primarily via interaction with PPARa and CAR/PXR. We investigated the involvemen...

The exit of antigen-presenting cells (APC) and lymphocytes from inflamed skin to afferent lymph is vital for the initiation and maintenance of dermal immune responses. How such exit is achieved and how cells transmigrate the distinct endothelium of lymphatic vessels is however unknown. Here we show ...

The molecular basis of CNS myelin regeneration (remyelination) is poorly understood. Here we generate a comprehensive transcriptional profile of the separate stages of spontaneous remyelination following focal demyelination in the rat CNS. White matter tracts in the rat caudal cerebellar peduncles...
