Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Evaluation of Near-Infrared Absorbing Conductive Polymer Nanoparticles as Agents for Photothermal Ablation of Breast Cancer Cells
(2015-11-24)In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a viable alternative for cancer treatment. Much effort has been devoted to finding various types of PTT agents with excellent heat generation, photothermal efficiency, ... -
Understanding the Role of Accessory Proteins on ENaC Function
(2014-11-18)The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) reabsorbs sodium in the distal convoluted tubules of the nephron in kidneys. Regulation and assembly of ENaC is not well characterized and the use of a yeast deletion library can shed ... -
The Effects of Accessory Proteins on ENaC Function
(2014-11-19)Maintaining homeostasis is crucial for perpetuating good health. Any imbalance, such as hypertension, can lead to heart and kidney disease. Epithelial sodium channels, also known as ENaC, constitute the rate-limiting step ... -
Purification of the alpha subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (αENaC) for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) studies
(2016-11-29)The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is responsible for sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules of the nephron in the kidneys. ENaC is a transmembrane protein with N and C-termini located in the cytosol and a ...
