So, proteinases provide an important control that regulates the varied cellular processes defining inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a family of 24 mammalian extracellular ...

These proteinases can also be visualized with molecular imaging techniques that are being developed in conjunction with Dr. Weissleder. And these techniques are really a very promising way of ...

Inflammatory cells are recruited to the site of injury to provide defence against invading pathogens, as well as the necessary cytokines, growth factors and proteinases that are required for new ...

Then from 1984-1987 worked as a post-doctoral Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell fellow at SUNY Stony Brook with Eckard Wimmer on the replication of poliovirus (the connection being the viral cysteine ...

These cells deploy complex cytoskeletal rearrangements to recognize and eliminate potential threats 3. Even in the steady state, myeloid cells constantly survey their surroundings for potential ...

ALA = Amoebic liver abscess; Eh = Entamoeba histolytica; EhCP = E. histolytica cysteine proteinase; Ehserp = E. histolytica serine proteinase; EhSTIRP = Serine threonine isoleucine-rich protein ...

His research is currently examining the role of cannabinoids and proteinases in the control of arthritis pain and inflammation. His research goal is to identify novel drug targets and develop new ...

A detailed understanding of how C. tropicalis escapes the host immune attack is needed as it can help develop novel anti-fungal therapies. Secreted aspartyl proteinases (Saps) of C. albicans have been ...
