Haeme oxygenase (HO) is an enzyme mainly localized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and involved in haeme degradation and in the generation of carbon monoxide (CO). Here we investigate (1) whether...
Modeling of the Role of a Bax-Activation Switch in the Mitochondrial Apoptosis Decision
Chen, Chun, Cui, Jun, Lu, Haizhu, Wang, Rui, Zhang, Shuai, Shen, Pingping
We performed in silico modeling of the regulatory network of mitochondrial apoptosis through which we examined the role of a Bax-activation switch in governing the mitochondrial apoptosis decision....

Regulatory T (Treg) cells control immune activation and maintain tolerance. How Tregs mediate their suppressive function is unclear. Here we identified a cell surface molecule, called GARP, (or...
Antons, Amanda K., Wang, Rui, Kalams, Spyros A., Unutmaz, Derya
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress immune responses against both self and non-self antigens. Tregs require activation through the T cell receptor (TCR) and IL-2 to exert their suppressive functions....

A Randomized Pilot Study of Atractylenolide I on Gastric Cancer Cachexia Patients
Liu, Yi, Jia, Zhongwu, Dong, Lei, Wang, Rui, Qiu, Genquan
We determined the therapeutic efficacy of atractylenolide I (ATR), extracted from largehead atractylodes rhizome, in managing gastric cancer cachexia (GCC), and interpreted its probable...

The role of FoxP3+CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in HIV-1 disease in vivo is poorly understood due to the lack of a robust model. We report here that CD4+FoxP3+ T cells are developed in all lymphoid...
