Unraveling the multifaceted interactions between the tumor cell hierarchy and the stroma: Implications on tumor growth
In this study, we have functionally characterized the roles of SEZ6, a GSC-specific protein, and FMOD, a DGC-specific protein, in inducing tumor angiogenesis. Angiogenesis being a crucial requirement for both tumor initiation ... -
Unraveling the role of cellular phosphatases in lysosome function and storage diseases
Eukaryotic cellular pathways are maintained and coordinated through biomolecule turnover, which includes synthesis, trafficking, degradation of cellular components and their reutilization. The process of biomolecule ... -
Unravelling the functional role of Arf-like GTPases 14 and 15 in mammalian cells
Small G-proteins of Arf-like (Arl) GTPase subfamily are shown to regulate several cellular processes including intracellular trafficking, cytoskeletal organization, organelle biogenesis, cell adhesion and migration. Around ... -
Unravelling the Mechanism of Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein Expression during Bacterial Pathogenesis
(2018-02-21)Anti-microbial proteins (AMP) are the key effector arm of the innate immune system. The prevalence of AMP in single-celled eukaryotes to humans shows its importance during the course of evolution. The first report for the ... -
Unravelling The Regulators Of Translation And Replication Of Hepatitis C Virus
(2013-06-07)Unravelling the regulators of translation and replication of Hepatitis C virus Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense, single stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Hepacivirus and the family Flaviviridae. It ... -
Wnt/β-Catenin-dependent Epigenetic Factors Shape Host Immune Responses During Mycobacterial Infection
The genus mycobacterium has more than 120 species of bacteria; one being M. tuberculosis (Mtb), the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB). During infection, the host mounts a heightened immune response to contain the ...
