HER-2-Targeted Nanoparticle-Affibody Bioconjugates for Cancer Therapy
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)Affibodies are a class of polypeptide ligands that are potential candidates for cell- or tissue-specific targeting of drug-encapsulated controlled release polymeric nanoparticles (NPs). Here we report the development of ... -
HER2YVMA drives rapid development of adenosquamous lung tumors in mice that are sensitive to BIBW2992 and rapamycin combination therapy
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Mutations in the HER2 kinase domain have been identified in human clinical lung cancer specimens. Here we demonstrate that inducible expression of the most common HER2 mutant (HER2(YVMA)) in mouse lung epithelium causes ... -
Heritability analysis with repeat measurements and its application to resting-state functional connectivity
(National Academy of Sciences, 2017)Heritability, defined as the proportion of phenotypic variation attributable to genetic variation, provides important information about the genetic basis of a trait. Existing heritability analysis methods do not discriminate ... -
Heritability of Thoracic Spine Curvature and Genetic Correlations With Other Spine Traits: The Framingham Study
(Wiley, 2016)Hyperkyphosis is a common spinal disorder in older adults, characterized by excessive forward curvature of the thoracic spine and adverse health outcomes. The etiology of hyperkyphosis has not been firmly established, but ... -
Heritable and Precise Zebrafish Genome Editing Using a CRISPR-Cas System
(Public Library of Science, 2013)We have previously reported a simple and customizable CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease (RGN) system that can be used to efficiently and robustly introduce somatic ... -
Heritable genome editing in C. elegans via a CRISPR-Cas9 system
(2013)CRISPR-Cas systems have been used with single-guide RNAs for accurate gene disruption and conversion in multiple biological systems. Here we report the use of the endonuclease Cas9 to target genomic sequences in the C. ... -
Heritable Stochastic Switching Revealed by Single-Cell Genealogy
(Public Library of Science, 2007)The partitioning and subsequent inheritance of cellular factors like proteins and RNAs is a ubiquitous feature of cell division. However, direct quantitative measures of how such nongenetic inheritance affects subsequent ... -
Herpes Simplex Keratitis and Dendritic Cells at the Crossroads
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2009) -
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Immediate-Early and Early Gene Expression during Reactivation from Latency under Conditions That Prevent Infectious Virus Production
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)The program of gene expression exhibited by herpes simplex virus during productive infection of cultured cells is well established; however, less is known about the regulatory controls governing reactivation from latency ... -
Herpes Simplex Virus Is Equipped with RNA- and Protein-Based Mechanisms to Repress Expression of ATRX, an Effector of Intrinsic Immunity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)Intrinsic immunity is a first-line intracellular defense against virus infection, and viruses have evolved mechanisms to counteract it. During herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, nuclear domain 10 (ND10) components ... -
Herpes Simplex Virus Mutants with Multiple Substitutions Affecting DNA Binding of UL42 Are Impaired for Viral Replication and DNA Synthesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)Herpes simplex virus mutants with single substitutions that decrease DNA binding by the DNA polymerase processivity subunit UL42 are only modestly impaired for viral replication. In this study, recombinant viruses harboring ... -
Herpesviral ICP0 Protein Promotes Two Waves of Heterochromatin Removal on an Early Viral Promoter during Lytic Infection
(American Society of Microbiology, 2016)ABSTRACT Herpesviruses must contend with host cell epigenetic silencing responses acting on their genomes upon entry into the host cell nucleus. In this study, we confirmed that unchromatinized herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) ... -
Herpesviral latency-associated transcript gene promotes assembly of heterochromatin on viral lytic-gene promoters in latent infection
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005)Herpes simplex virus (HSV) persists in its human host and evades the immune response by undergoing a latent infection in sensory neurons, from which it can reactivate periodically. HSV expresses > 80 gene products during ... -
A Herpesviral Lytic Protein Regulates the Structure of Latent Viral Chromatin
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)ABSTRACT Latent infections by viruses usually involve minimizing viral protein expression so that the host immune system cannot recognize the infected cell through the viral peptides presented on its cell surface. Herpes ... -
Hes1 triggers epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like cellular marker alterations and promotes invasion and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by activating the PTEN/AKT pathway
(Impact Journals LLC, 2015)Overexpression of the transcriptional factor Hes1 (hairy and enhancer of split-1) has been observed in numerous cancers, but the precise roles of Hes1 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer invasion and metastasis ... -
Heterodimeric JAK-STAT Activation as a Mechanism of Persistence to JAK2 Inhibitor Therapy
(2012)The identification of somatic activating mutations in JAK21–4 and in the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL)5 in the majority of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients led to the clinical development of JAK2 kinase inhibitors6,7. ... -
The heterogeneity in GABAA receptor-mediated IPSC kinetics reflects heterogeneity of subunit composition among inhibitory and excitatory interneurons in spinal lamina II
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)GABAergic inhibition displays rich functional diversity throughout the CNS, which arises from variations in the nature of inputs, subunit composition, subcellular localization of receptors and synapse geometry, or reuptake ... -
Heterogeneity in Host Risk Factors for Incident Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer in a Cohort of US Women
(Japan Epidemiological Association, 2011)Background: Melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are 3 types of skin cancer that have distinct biologic characteristics and prognoses. We evaluated phenotypic differences in the risk of ... -
