Regulation of Bone Formation and Pathology by Local Actions of Leptin in the Bone Marrow.
(2011)
Site-specific adipose content of the bone marrow has been noted since the inclusion
of meat into the hominid diet, evidenced by marrow removal from ungulate limb
bones, 2.6 million years ago. Association between marrow fat ...
The Application of Genetic, In Silico and In Vitro Tools to Elucidate the Biology of a Functional Amyloid Fiber.
(2010)
Curli are thin aggregative fimbriae produced by many Enterobacteriaceae as a structural component of biofilms. Curli share many biochemical and biophysical properties with amyloid fibers which are often associated with ...
Directed Evolution Designed to Optimize the in vivo Protein Folding Environment.
(2010)
Protein folding is assisted by molecular chaperones and folding catalysts in vivo. Understanding how chaperones are regulated and how they function in vivo may provide new avenues for developing protein folding modulators. ...
Use Of Proteomics For The Analysis Of Hard-To-Dissect Biological Samples.
(2011)
The bulk of my research focused on the development and standardization of improved methods to carry out meaningful proteomic analyses of organisms with unannotated or incomplete genome sequences, and the analysis of proteins ...
Regulating Gene Expression Through DNA Mechanics: Tightly Looped DNA Represses Transcription.
(2010)
It is now widely accepted that the mechanical state of DNA can play a major role in regulating the activity of RNA polymerase (RNAP). Not only have the global levels of supercoiling been shown to regulate transcription, ...
