Xu, Chang, Houck, John R., Fan, Wenhong, Wang, Pei, Chen, Yu, Upton, Melissa, ...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is used extensively for genome and transcriptome profiling. Traditionally, however, DNA and RNA are purified from separate populations of LCM-harvested cells,...

Functional stoichiometry of the unitary calcium-release-activated calcium channel

Ji, Wei, Xu, Pingyong, Li, Zhengzheng, Lu, Jingze, Liu, Lin, Zhan, Yi, ...

Two proteins, STIM1 in the endoplasmic reticulum and Orai1 in the plasma membrane, are required for the activation of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels at the cell surface. How these...

Direct Quantification of Fusion Rate Reveals a Distal Role for AS160 in Insulin-stimulated Fusion of GLUT4 Storage Vesicles*S⃞

Jiang, Li, Fan, Junmei, Bai, Li, Wang, Yan, Chen, Yu, Yang, Lu, ...

Insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane constitutes a key process for blood glucose control. However, convenient and robust assays to monitor this dynamic process in real time...

What do we need besides trade?

Yu Chen

Trade has been shown by many authors to have strong positive impact on productivity. However, we also see some others being more reserved about such an impact. This study intends to investigate...

Possession and Access: Consumer Desires and Value Perceptions Regarding Contemporary Art Collection and Exhibit Visits

Yu Chen

This research develops a multilevel and multifaceted perspective on art consumption behavior by separating consumption modes from the consumption products (artworks), by comparing possession...

Myeloma-derived Dickkopf-1 disrupts Wnt-regulated osteoprotegerin and RANKL production by osteoblasts: a potential mechanism underlying osteolytic bone lesions in multiple myeloma

Qiang, Ya-Wei, Chen, Yu, Stephens, Owen, Brown, Nathan, Chen, Bangzheng, Epstein, Joshua, ...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by osteolytic bone lesions (OBL) that arise as a consequence of osteoblast inactivation and osteoclast activation adjacent to tumor foci within bone. Wnt...

GDI-1 preferably interacts with Rab10 in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation

Chen, Yu, Deng, Yongqiang, Zhang, Jinzhong, Yang, Lu, Xie, Xiangyang, Xu, Tao

Insulin stimulates GLUT4 (glucose transporter 4) translocation in adipocytes and muscles. An emerging picture is that Rab10 could bridge the gap between the insulin signalling cascade and GLUT4...

Low-Dose Growth Hormone is Cardioprotective in Uremia

Rabkin, Ralph, Awwad, Ibrahim, Chen, Yu, Ashley, Euan A., Sun, Difei, Sood, Sumita, ...

Growth hormone (GH) is required to maintain normal cardiac structure and function and has a positive effect on cardiac remodeling in experimental and possibly human disease. Cardiac resistance to GH...

Functional screen reveals SARS coronavirus nonstructural protein nsp14 as a novel cap N7 methyltransferase

Chen, Yu, Cai, Hui, Pan, Ji'an, Xiang, Nian, Tien, Po, Ahola, Tero, ...

The N7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap is the defining structural feature of eukaryotic mRNAs. Most eukaryotic viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm, including coronaviruses, have evolved strategies to...
