Obesity is associated with an impaired humoral immune response. As B cells mediate the humoral immune response, they are major cellular targets in diet induced obesity models. Several studies have established that B cell ...
THE DISTINCT ROLES OF TWO eIF4E ISOFORMS AND THEIR COGNATE 4EIPS IN THE GERMLINE OF C. elegans
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Biological information becomes functional at the step of mRNA translation when the protein product is synthesized. Translational regulation of mRNAs is critically important for proper modulation of gene expression in germ ...
Fish oil disrupts B cell plasma membrane lateral organization and immunological synapse formation
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Fish oil has immunosuppressive properties that could provide treatment for numerous inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The primary bioactive components of fish oil, which are the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ...
