Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...

Plasma Membrane Organization and Endocytosis of CD36 in Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells
DownloadSpring 2016
The plasma membrane is a dynamic lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell, embedded with different plasma membrane proteins, aiding communication between the inside and outside of the cells. Its functions are achieved through an intricate organization of lipid-lipid, lipid-protein and...

T cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped: mouse delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and mouse T cell-mediated rejection of renal allografts share common molecular mechanismsT cell-mediated inflammation is stereotyped
DownloadFall 2011
Genome-wide gene expression analysis of diseases has revealed large-scale changes in the expression of thousands of genes (transcripts) representing biological processes. The processes that occur during T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts in mice and humans have been previously...
