Zika virus (ZIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus of significant public health concern closely related to other highly pathogenic flaviviruses, such as dengue virus (DENV) and West Nile virus (WNV). With the rise of ZIKV in...
Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic virus that has adapted unique mechanisms to modulate the cellular microenvironment of its human host. The pathogenesis of KSHV is intimately linked to its manipulation of...
D4Z4 is a subtelomeric macrosatellite repeat on chromosome 4q that codes for DUX4, a gene that is causal to the muscle wasting disease Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). DUX4 expression is influenced by a number of genetic...
The DNA in the eukaryotic genome is wrapped in 147--bp segments around an octamer of histone proteins to form the fundamental subunit of chromatin, the nucleosome. Nucleosomes regulate the access of proteins to DNA, thus regulating...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has emerged as a major cause of human liver disease, with ~3% of the world population persistently infected with and more than one million new cases of infection reported annually. In most cases, HCV escapes the...
Biocompatible coatings are often used to improve fixation between implants and tissues. Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMU) coatings built layer by layer with alternating pairs of polyelectrolytes can be tuned to improve cell interactions...
Neuromodulation plays important roles in adjusting our nervous system to produce behaviors. The same neuromodulator could have different effects on different targets, or the same target could be modulated by multiple neuromodulators. In...
