As the basic unit of life, cells utilize signaling pathways to receive inputs from the environment and translate such information into appropriate cellular behaviors and responses. Cell signaling ...

My research explores non-stem cell-driven regeneration and directed cell migration in Drosophila epithelial wing discs, a powerful model system, following X-ray ionizing radiation. By leveraging ...

For instance, neurotransmitters are a class of short-range signaling molecules that travel across the tiny spaces between adjacent neurons or between neurons and muscle cells. Other signaling ...

Our results suggest that irradiation affects the stem/precursor-cell pool and alters the signaling in the local environment that is necessary for neurogenesis. Therapeutic radiation is used to ...

I am a PhD student in Dr. Su's lab. My research focuses on understanding the impact of X-ray radiation on cell behavior, with a particular emphasis on cell fate change and cell migration. My objective ...

Our laboratory focuses on the role of sphingolipid signaling as a stress response. In this pathway, generation of the second messenger ceramide in response to diverse environmental and pharmacologic ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage, but it turns out that this is not the full truth.

renal cell cancer, bladder, penile, and pancreas cancer. Several non-cancer emphases include: IgA Nephropathy, Immunology, and Schizophrenia. We are investigating several key signaling proteins in the ...

The researchers found the same skin response to UV radiation exists ... system within the cells, which registers the RNA damage, leading to inflammatory signaling and recruitment of immune cells ...
