Genetic and environmental determinants of swarming in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Swarming, in bacteria, is a type of group translocation phenomenon observed in several flagellated species characterized by their ability to spread across solid or semi-solid surfaces rapidly – often with a distinct colony ...
Investigating the role of AMPK in mammary gland alveologenesis and lactation
AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor that regulates cell growth and metabolism. Reports from our laboratory and others have shown the context-specific role of AMPK signaling in breast cancer. However, its role ...
Establishment of a knock-in mouse model expressing a hypomorphic variant of receptor guanylyl cyclase C
Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C, gene GUCY2C) is expressed on the apical surface of the intestinal epithelial cells and gets activated by the endogenous ligands guanylin and uroguanylin. Heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) ...
Peritoneal colonization of ovarian cancer
The primary cause of mortality associated with cancer is metastasis, i.e., the spread of transformed cells from the site of oncogenesis to secondary loci within the body. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating ...
Role of 3D-organization of the X-inactivation centre in imprinted X-chromosome inactivation
The connection between 3D-genome organization and genome regulation is one of the fundamental questions in modern biology. In a nucleus, the genome is organized through different layers of 3D-organization such as ...
