Identification of Novel Regulators in Hematopoiesis: Roles for Gfer in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Proliferation and CaMKK2 in the Restriction of Granulopoiesis
(2011)
<p>Hematopoiesis is the process in which billions of blood cells are produced on a
daily basis, and is vital for sustaining life. This process is tightly regulated
by a dynamic balance between hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) ...
RNA Recognition and Regulation of the AU-rich RNA Binding Proteins: HuR, TTP and BRF1
(2011)
Posttranscriptional gene expression is controlled and coordinated by RNA binding proteins
(RBPs), many of which recognize specific RNAs through cis-regulatory RNA elements.
One of the most highly studied classes ...
Metabolic Regulation of Caspase-2
(2011)
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cellular "suicide" which is activated in response
to a variety of pro-death stimuli. Apoptotic cell death is orderly and energy-dependent,
and cellular constituents are packaged ...
Autophagy in Metabolism, Cell Death, and Leukemogenesis
(2011)
Tissue homeostasis is controlled by the availability of growth factors, which sustain
exogenous nutrient uptake and prevent apoptosis. Cancer cells, however, can express
constitutively active oncogenic kinases such as BCR-Abl ...
Glucose metabolism and p53 in leukemia
(2011)
Healthy cells require input from growth factor signaling pathways to maintain cell
metabolism and survival. Growth factor deprivation induces a loss of glucose metabolism
that contributes to cell death in this context, ...
eIF4E Phosphorylation Balances Cap-dependent and Cap-independent Translation Initiation
(2011)
Signaling pathways converge on the translation machinery and influence protein synthesis
globally or specifically on certain classes of transcripts. The experiments described
in this thesis focus on regulation of translation ...
