Journal Article
Nelli, R. K., Dunham, S. P., Kuchipudi, S. V., White, G. A., Baquero-Perez, B., Pengxiang, C., …Chang, K. (2012). Mammalian innate resistance to highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus infection is mediated through reduced proinflammation and infectious virus release. Journal of Virology, 86(17), https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00244-12

Respiratory epithelial cells and macrophages are the key innate immune cells that play an important role in the pathogenesis of influenza A virus infection. We found that these two cell types from both human and pig showed comparable susceptibilities...

Oxygen concentration modulates the differentiation of muscle stem cells toward myogenic and adipogenic fates (2012)
Journal Article
Redshaw, Z., & Loughna, P. T. (2012). Oxygen concentration modulates the differentiation of muscle stem cells toward myogenic and adipogenic fates. Differentiation, 84(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diff.2012.06.001

The physiological oxygen concentration of many tissues is far lower than that in which cells are typically cultured in vitro and this may inadvertently influence the proliferation and differentiation potential of many cell types. Muscle derived stem... Read More about Oxygen concentration modulates the differentiation of muscle stem cells toward myogenic and adipogenic fates.

On the role of the difference in surface tensions involved in the allosteric regulation of NHE-1 induced by low to mild osmotic pressure, membrane tension and lipid asymmetry (2012)
Journal Article
Pang, V., Counillon, L., Lagadic-Gossmann, D., Poet, M., Lacroix, J., Sergent, O., …Rauch, C. (2012). On the role of the difference in surface tensions involved in the allosteric regulation of NHE-1 induced by low to mild osmotic pressure, membrane tension and lipid asymmetry. Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 63(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12013-012-9340-7

The sodium-proton exchanger 1 (NHE-1) is a membrane transporter that exchanges Na+ for H+ ion across the membrane of eukaryotic cells. It is cooperatively activated by intracellular protons, and this allosteric regulation is modulated by the biophysi...
