Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Using preclinical mouse models of disease, previous work in our laboratory has linked microRNA-155 (miR-155) to...

Acute graft--host disease (GVHD) is the leading cause of non-relapse mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The majority of patients non-responsive to front line treatment with steroids have an estimated...

The Notch signaling pathway is tightly controlled via post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that promote or terminate pathway activity. In this issue, Carrieri et al [1] show that phosphorylation of the Notch...

Activation of the transcription factor estrogen receptor α (ERα) and the subsequent regulation of estrogen-responsive genes play a crucial role in the development and progression of the majority of breast...

Vertebrate somitogenesis is regulated by a segmentation clock. Clock-linked genes exhibit cyclic expression, with a periodicity matching the rate of somite production. In mice, lunatic fringe (Lfng) expression oscillates, and...

Methanobactin (mb) is the first characterized example of a chalkophore, a class of copper-binding chromopeptides similar to iron-binding siderophores. Structural, redox, themodynamic, and spectral studies on chalkophores have focused almost...
