Phosphatase type 1 is a major enzyme essential to Plasmodium development. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying its regulation remain to be deciphered. In this work, we report the functional characterization of the Plasmodium berghei LRR1, an ortholog of SDS22, one of the most ancient and cons...
ZFTA-RELA ependymoma presents a significant clinical challenge due to the lack of effective treatments, driving the need to explore novel immunotherapeutic strategies. Recent studies have identified the skull bone marrow as a source of meningeal immune cells critical for central nervous system (CNS)...
Gene expression studies of human embryonic stem cells undergoing directed differentiation to endothelial cells to identify key transcriptional changes during differentiation
The multiple mutations comprising the epsilon variant demonstrates the independent convergent evolution of SARS-CoV-2 with its spike protein mutation L452R also present in the delta variant. Cells infected with live viral samples of the epsilon viral variant compared to non-epsilon variant displa...
Fibroblasts produce the majority of collagen in the heart and are thought to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. However, the in vivo role of fibroblasts in structuring the basal ECM network is poorly understood. To examine the effects of fibroblast loss on the microenvironment in the adul...
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic management of epilepsy remains a challenge, since optimal systemic antiseizure medication (ASM) concentrations do not always correlate with improved clinical outcome and minimal side effects. We tested the feasibility of non-invasive real-time breath metab...
This study investigates the role of cancer cell surface proteins in modulating the response of cancer cells to macrophage-induced cytotoxicity. Utilizing two targeted CRISPR screens using OVCAR-8 cell line and a targeted CRISPR library for cancer cell surface proteins, ATG9A was identified as a key ...
