Investigating Cytoskeletal Motor Mechanisms using DNA Nanotechnology
(2014-02-25)
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a vital role in the spatial-temporal organization of subcellular cargo required to maintain homeostasis and direct cell division. Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin are opposite-polarity, ...
CRISPR-Cas: Development and applications for mammalian genome editing
(2014-06-06)
The ability to introduce targeted modifications into genomes and engineer model organisms holds enormous promise for biomedical and technological applications, and has driven the development of tools such as zinc finger ...
Targeting `Undruggable' Cancer Proteins with Irreversible Small Molecule Inhibitors: Her3 and KRas
(2014-06-06)
With the lighting speed revolution of technologies in chemistry and biology, increasing number of proteins which eluded scientists' efforts to block them before and were labeled as `undruggable', were successfully targeted ...
Defining and Targeting Transcriptional Pathways in Leukemia Stem Cells
(2014-10-21)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal neoplastic disorder organized as a cellular hierarchy, with the self-renewing leukemia stem cell (LSC) at the apex. Recurrent mutations in transcription factors (TF) and epigenetic ...
Oxidative Assembly of the Outer Membrane Lipopolysaccharide Translocon LptD/E and Progress towards Its X-Ray Crystal Structure
(2014-10-21)
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the glycolipid that comprises the outer leaflet of the Gram-negative outer membrane (OM). Because it is essential in nearly all Gram-negative species, and because it is responsible for making ...
