Research on aging has been invigorated by recent findings suggesting certain mutations in various invertebrate models (yeast, worms, and flies) can slow down aging and improve healthspan. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and manipulation of t... |
| Designing and testing a molecularly targeted glioblastoma theranostic: experimental and computational studies |
2018 |
825 |
With an extremely poor patient prognosis glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive forms of brain tumor with a median patient survival of less than 15 months. While new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches continue to emerge, the p... |

Mast cells (MC) are important immune sentinels found in most tissue and widely recognized for their role as mediators of Type I hypersensitivity. However, they also secrete anti-cancer mediators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) and granulo... |
| Studies examining the infectivity of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) on human immune cells |
2017 |
381 |
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) establishes a latent infection in cells to ensure a persistent infection throughout an infected individual’s life. HIV can establish this latent infection in a variety of cells. Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Treatme... |
| Studies examining the efficacy of therapeutically enhanced human mast cells as a cancer immunotherapy |
2021 |
