Diet-induced obesity differentially regulates behavioral, biomechanical, and molecular risk factors for osteoarthritis in mice.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis
in both weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing joints. The mechanisms by which obesity
influences the structural or symptomatic features of ...
Pathogenesis of growth failure and partial reversal with gene therapy in murine and canine Glycogen Storage Disease type Ia.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2013-06)
Glycogen Storage Disease type Ia (GSD-Ia) in humans frequently causes delayed bone
maturation, decrease in final adult height, and decreased growth velocity. This study
evaluates the pathogenesis of growth failure and the ...
Interstitial engraftment of adipose-derived stem cells into an acellular dermal matrix results in improved inward angiogenesis and tissue incorporation.
(J Biomed Mater Res A, 2013-10)
Acellular dermal matrices (ADM) are commonly used in reconstructive procedures and
rely on host cell invasion to become incorporated into host tissues. We investigated
different approaches to adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) ...
Two genes on A/J chromosome 18 are associated with susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infection by combined microarray and QTL analyses.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-09-02)
Although it has recently been shown that A/J mice are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus
aureus sepsis as compared to C57BL/6J, the specific genes responsible for this differential
phenotype are unknown. Using chromosome ...
MRP3: a molecular target for human glioblastoma multiforme immunotherapy.
(BMC Cancer, 2010-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is refractory to conventional therapies.
To overcome the problem of heterogeneity, more brain tumor markers are required for
prognosis and targeted therapy. We have identified and ...
Cryopreserved Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Susceptible to T-Cell Mediated Apoptosis Which Is Partly Rescued by IFNγ Licensing.
(Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio), 2016-09)
We have previously demonstrated that cryopreservation and thawing lead to altered
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) functionalities. Here, we further analyzed MSC's fitness
post freeze-thaw. We have observed that thawed MSC ...
Neuroepithelial circuit formed by innervation of sensory enteroendocrine cells.
(J Clin Invest, 2015-02)
Satiety and other core physiological functions are modulated by sensory signals arising
from the surface of the gut. Luminal nutrients and bacteria stimulate epithelial biosensors
called enteroendocrine cells. Despite being ...
Single-cell microarray enables high-throughput evaluation of DNA double-strand breaks and DNA repair inhibitors.
(Cell Cycle, 2013-03-15)
A key modality of non-surgical cancer management is DNA damaging therapy that causes
DNA double-strand breaks that are preferentially toxic to rapidly dividing cancer
cells. Double-strand break repair capacity is recognized ...
RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq reveal SQSTM1/p62 as a key mediator of JunB suppression of NF-κB-dependent inflammation.
(J Invest Dermatol, 2015-04)
Mice with epidermal deletion of JunB transcription factor displayed a psoriasis-like
inflammation. The relevance of these findings to humans and the mechanisms mediating
JunB function are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate ...
Costimulation blockade alters germinal center responses and prevents antibody-mediated rejection.
(Am J Transplant, 2014-01)
De novo donor-specific antibody (DSA) after organ transplantation promotes antibody-mediated
rejection (AMR) and causes late graft loss. Previously, we demonstrated that depletion
using anti-CD3 immunotoxin combined with ...
