    Description

    Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) are associated with dysfunctional mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which results in increased cell growth and ribosomal S6 protein phosphorylation. TSC studies suggest mTOR inhibitors can reduce TSC tumor growth and seizure frequency, while FCD studies indicate seizure suppression. This study assessed safety of mTOR...

    Description

    Psychological stress (PS) is linked with systemic inflammation. It accelerates inflammatory disease progression and monocytes are key in sustaining systemic inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying stress-mediated inflammation and future health risk remains unknown. This study examined the impact of psychological stress on monocytes. They showed that PS induces remodeling of the chromatin landscape...

    Description

    T follicular helper (TFH) cells are CD4+ T helper cells that are important for immune responses to infection and vaccination. This study examined the translational regulation required for CD4+ T helper cells to differentiate to TFH cells and its contribution to TFH cell participation in pathogenesis in autoimmune disease in animal models. The experiments for non-autoimmune studies were performed with...

    Description

    This study combined multiple techniques (e.g., RNAscope in-situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, and functional assays) to investigate the inflammatory response associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in human vascular tissues. Single cell RNA-sequencing data obtained from samples collected for this study is available via the Gene...
