We study a small organelle on the surface of cells known as the primary cilium. The majority of your cells in your body have a primary cilium, including all of your neurons and stem cells.
Read MoreHere we leverage our strengths in cardiovascular and metabolic research at the University of Utah (UU) in general/and our particular interest in the lipotoxic sphingolipid ceramide in particular.
Read MoreResearch in mosquito control is whimsical and complex, spanning topics in community ecology, population genetics, pathology, epidemiology, and fundamental principles like mosquito behavior.
Read MoreThis research initiative aims to shed light on the role of individual amino acids in enhancing plant immunity/particularly during programmed cell death (PCD). Additionally/we will conduct amino acid profiling using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) following the exogenous application of specific amino acids to unravel the dynamic changes in amino acid concentrations.
Read MoreDuring assembly of the bacterial flagellum, the proteins that form the exterior structures are exported through the growing structure by an export apparatus at the base that is both very fast (translocating several large protein molecules per second) and very specific (acting on just a few cargo proteins from among the hundreds of proteins in the cell).
