Viner H, Nitsan I, Sapir L, Drori S, Tzlil S
iScience . 2019 Mar; 14:58-68. PMID: 30927696
Cells can communicate mechanically by responding to mechanical deformations generated by their neighbors. Here, we describe a new role for mechanical communication by demonstrating that mechanical coupling between cells acts...

Debbi L, Drori S, Tzlil S
Front Physiol . 2018 Aug; 9:917. PMID: 30072912
Cardiac cells are subjected to mechanical load during each heart-beat. Normal heart load is essential for physiological development and cardiac function. At the same time, excessive load can induce pathologies...

Pinhassi R, Assaraf Y, Farber S, Stark M, Ickowicz D, Drori S, et al.
Biomacromolecules . 2009 Dec; 11(1):294-303. PMID: 20014825
Folic acid (FA) is a high affinity ligand (K(d) = 0.1-1 nM) of folate receptors (FRs) responsible for cellular uptake of folates via receptor-mediated endocytosis. FRs are frequently overexpressed in...

Lasry I, Berman B, Straussberg R, Sofer Y, Bessler H, Sharkia M, et al.
Blood . 2008 Jun; 112(5):2055-61. PMID: 18559978
Hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM) patients harbor inactivating mutations including R113S in the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT), an intestinal folate transporter with optimal activity at acidic pH. Here we identified and...

St-Pierre J, Drori S, Uldry M, Silvaggi J, Rhee J, Jager S, et al.
Cell . 2006 Oct; 127(2):397-408. PMID: 17055439
PPARgamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a potent stimulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. Since the mitochondrial electron transport chain is the main producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in most...

Drori S, Girnun G, Tou L, Szwaya J, Mueller E, Xia K, et al.
Genes Dev . 2005 Feb; 19(3):362-75. PMID: 15687259
PPARgamma is a dominant regulator of fat cell differentiation. However, this nuclear receptor also plays an important role in the differentiation of intestinal and other epithelial cell types. The mechanism...

Kaufman Y, Drori S, Cole P, Kamen B, Sirota J, Ifergan I, et al.
Cancer . 2004 Feb; 100(4):773-82. PMID: 14770434
Background: Although the majority of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are cured with combination chemotherapy containing methotrexate (MTX), drug resistance contributes to treatment failure for a substantial fraction of...

Baron D, Assaraf Y, Drori S, Aronheim A
Eur J Biochem . 2003 Nov; 270(22):4469-77. PMID: 14622275
Rogers syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting in megaloblastic anemia, diabetes mellitus, and sensorineural deafness. The gene associated with this disease encodes for thiamine transporter 1 (THTR1), a member...

Girnun G, Smith W, Drori S, Sarraf P, Mueller E, Eng C, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2002 Oct; 99(21):13771-6. PMID: 12370429
Activation of PPARgamma by synthetic ligands, such as thiazolidinediones, stimulates adipogenesis and improves insulin sensitivity. Although thiazolidinediones represent a major therapy for type 2 diabetes, conflicting studies showing that these...

Mueller E, Drori S, Aiyer A, Yie J, Sarraf P, Chen H, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2002 Aug; 277(44):41925-30. PMID: 12200443
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma is a nuclear receptor that is a key regulator of adipogenesis and is present in two isoforms generated by alternative splicing, PPARgamma1 and PPARgamma2. Studies...
