A large deletion virus reveals the presence of previously uncharacterized vaccinia virus inhibitors of NF-kB signaling
DownloadFall 2010
The classical Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway is an important regulator of inflammation and innate immune responses. Poxviruses, including vaccinia virus, encode multiple immune evasion proteins, including a growing number of NF-κB inhibitors. To determine if additional vaccinia...

A Novel Nude Mouse Model of Hypertrophic Scarring Using Scratched Full-Thickness Human Skin Grafts
DownloadFall 2015
Hypertrophic scar (HTS) is a dermal form of fibroproliferative disorder that develops following deep skin injury. This dermal fibrosis can cause deformities, functional disabilities, and aesthetic disfigurements. The pathophysiology of HTS is not understood due in part, to the lack of an ideal...

Mast cells are immune cells important in innate immunity. Besides their role in asthma and allergies, mast cells are critical effector cells against various pathogens. Mast cells are established to be protective against bacterial infections, but little is known about their functions in viral...

Characterization of the cold stress-induced cyanobacterial DEAD-box protein CrhC as an RNA helicase
Download2000
Owttrim, George W., Yu, Esther
We have shown previously that CrhC is a unique member of the DEAD-box family of RNA helicases whose expression occurs specifically under conditions of cold stress. Here we show that recombinant His-tagged CrhC, purified from Escherichia coli, is an ATP-independent RNA binding protein possessing...

Dynamic Changes of Monocytes and Chemokine Pathway Signaling During Wound Healing Post-Burn Injury
DownloadSpring 2022
Background:There are over 11 million people hospitalized for burns annually according to the World Health Organization, resulting in painful skin scar contractures and restricted movements, as well as mental and physical stresses. Up to 70% of deep dermal injury result in hypertrophic scars,...

Inhibition and enhancement of Respiratory Syncytial Virus replication by nucleoside analogues and bis(indole) compounds
DownloadSpring 2019
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an Orthopneumovirus that infects the epithelium of the airways. Severe RSV infection of the lower respiratory tract in infants is a leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations. RSV also causes substantial morbidity in immunocompromised and elderly populations....
