Cells carry out specialized functions throughout the body and each cell type functions distinctly from other cell types. Some cellular functions include transporting nutrients throughout the body and producing energy. One specialized cell is muscle cells which function to create a force that moves parts of the body. Another example are bone cells, whose functions include protecting internal organs from damage and storing minerals such as calcium.
The microenvironment of many solid tumors impedes many immunotherapeutic treatments by inhibiting the effector functions of many classes of anti-tumor immune cells, including effector T cell...
We recently determined that concurrent inhibition of autophagy, using the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine (CQ), and of ERK, using a small molecule ERK inhibitor (ERKi), synergistically suppr...

α-synuclein (-syn) is a small presynaptic protein linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders, collectively called synucleinopathies. Phosphoryl...
Heterotetrameric adaptor protein (AP) complexes play key roles in protein sorting and transport vesicle formation in the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. One of these complexes, AP-4...
Within the kidney, the glomerulus is the structure in charge of the renal ultrafiltration. Loss of glomerular function leads to renal damage and could end with irreversible damage. The major...
Intracellular signaling processes are frequently based on direct interactions between proteins and organelles. A fundamental strategy to elucidate the physiological significance of such inte...
The use of primary human hepatocytes in basic research or other clinical applications (e.g., liver assist devices, ex vivo gene therapy, and hepatocyte transplantation) is limited by a short...

One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...
Microphysiological systems (MPS) have proven to be a powerful tool for recreating human tissue- and organ-like functions. However, establishing complex human in vitro ADME models involving c...
Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from acute febrile illness with rash and arthritis to lethal encephalitis. Like many other mosquito-borne viruses,...
As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses require host-derived nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids, among others, and the bioavailability of these metabolites can restrict or promote vir...
