Journal Article
Haris, M., Singh, A., Mohammed, I., Ittyerah, R., Nath, K., Nanga, R. P. R., …Reddy, R. (2015). In vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumor Protease Activity. Scientific Reports, 4(1), Article 6081. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep06081

Increased expression of cathepsins has diagnostic as well as prognostic value in several types of cancer. Here, we demonstrate a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method, which uses poly-L-glutamate (PLG) as an MRI probe to map cathepsin express...

In vitro studies on the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin 9 (HBD9): signalling pathways and pathogen-related response (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis) (2014)
Journal Article
Dua, H. S., Otri, A. M., Hopkinson, A., & Mohammed, I. (2014). In vitro studies on the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin 9 (HBD9): signalling pathways and pathogen-related response (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis). Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 112, 50-73

Purpose: Human β-defensins (HBDs) are an important part of the innate immune host defense at the ocular surface. Unlike other defensins, expression of HBD9 at the ocular surface is reduced during microbial infection, but activation of toll-like recep...
