Calcium Dysregulation and Cell Function in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common inherited cause of death in infants and young children. SMA is caused by the deletion or mutation i...
Targeting the PMP22 Protein to Develop Leads Against Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
Project Summary Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMTD) is a debilitating hereditary peripheral neuropathy that afflicts 1:2500 humans. The hallmark of CTMD pathology is severely defect...
Synaptic Mechanisms of Nucleus Accumbens Disinhibition by Ethanol
Project Summary Alcohol misuse levies a major impact on public health, yet the brain mechanisms underlying how this substance drives its misuse are poorly understood. This proposa...
Role of African-centric TP53 variant in higher H. pylori prevalence in African Americans
Project Summary African Americans have a 6-fold higher H. pylori (Hp) infection than the non-Hispanic white population; however, underlying gene(s) for this disparity remain elusiv...
PTEN promoter hypermethylation underlies vascular disease progression
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis and restenosis are chronic and acute inflammatory vascular diseases, respectively, characterized by significant vascular remodeling. Phenotypic switching o...
Choroid Plexus Multi-Sensory Cilia Regulate Production of Cerebrospinal Fluid
Cilia are microtubule-based cellular protrusions with diverse biological functions, including fluid movement, cellular locomotion, environmental sensing, and signal transduction. T...
Combining Irreversible Electroporation with Immunotherapy for the Systemic Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Abstract The goal of cancer immunotherapy is to utilize the patient?s immune system to reject the invading ?foreign? tumor. However, the pancreatic cancer microenvironment is chara...
Cooperative roles of FHA and ACT in Bordetella virulence
Summary/Abstract Pertussis (aka whooping cough) is re-emerging in developed countries despite high vaccine coverage. Resurgence is due primarily to waning immunity to the causal b...
Robust immune tolerance conferred by Foxp3 transcriptional regulation
Robust immune tolerance conferred by Foxp3 transcriptional regulation Regulatory T (Treg) cells actively suppress self-destructive T cells that cause a variety of autoimmune disea...
Implications of Obstructive Sleep Apnea for Fat Metabolism
ABSTRACT Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a precursor for several cardio-metabolic complications including hypertension, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and type...
