Intestinal-derived FGF15 protects against deleterious effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy in mice
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-08-06)
Bariatric surgeries such as the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) are invasive but provide the most effective improvements in obesity and Type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized a potential role for the gut hormone Fibroblast-Growth ...

Twenty-four-hour normothermic perfusion of isolated ex vivo hearts using plasma exchange
(Elsevier, 2022-07-01)
Objective: Cross-circulation of plasma from a paracorporeal animal allows successful ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) for 3 days. Little is known about the feasibility of prolonged EVHP without a paracorporeal animal. These ...
The ubiquitin ligase MDM2 sustains STAT5 stability to control T cell-mediated antitumor immunity
(Springer Nature, 2021-04-01)
Targeting the p53–MDM2 pathway to reactivate tumor p53 is a chemotherapeutic approach. However, the involvement of this pathway in CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity is unknown. Here, we report that mice with MDM2 ...
CD8+ T cells and fatty acids orchestrate tumor ferroptosis and immunity via ACSL4
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Tumor cell intrinsic ferroptosis-initiating mechanisms are unknown. Here, we discover that T cell-derived interferon (IFN)γ in combination with arachidonic acid (AA) induces immunogenic tumor ferroptosis, serving as a mode ...
Loss of optineurin drives cancer immune evasion via palmitoylation-dependent ifngr1 lysosomal sorting and degradation
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2021-07-01)
Mutations in IFN and MHC signaling genes endow immunotherapy resistance. Patients with colorectal cancer infrequently exhibit IFN and MHC signaling gene mutations and are generally resistant to immunotherapy. In exploring ...
