• Application of immobilized ATP to the study of NLRP inflammasomes 

  Liao, Kuo Chieh; Sandall, Christina F.; Carlson, David A.; Ulke-Lemée, Annegret; Platnich, Jaye; Hughes, Philip Floyd; Muruve, Daniel A.; Haystead, Timothy Arthur James; MacDonald, Justin Anthony (Cumming School of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary, Duke University, 2019-01-11)

  The NLRP proteins are a subfamily of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) innate immune sensors that possess an ATP-binding NACHT domain. As the most well-studied member, NLRP3 can initiate the assembly process of a multiprotein ...

• Effects of phosphorylation on the NLRP3 inflammasome 

  Sandall, Christina F.; MacDonald, Justin Anthony (Cumming School of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary, 2019-03-05)

  The pyrin domain containing Nod-like receptors (NLRPs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors known to regulate an array of immune signaling pathways. Emergent studies demonstrate the potential for regulatory control ...

• Targeting Pim kinases and DAPK3 to control hypertension 

  Carlson, David A.; Singer, Miriam R.; Sutherland, Cindy; Redondo, Clara; Alexander, Leila T.; Hughes, Philip Floyd; Knapp, Stefan; Gurley, Susan B.; Sparks, Matthew A.; MacDonald, Justin Anthony; Haystead, Timothy Arthur James (Cumming School of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Calgary, Duke University Medical Center, University of Oxford, 2018-07-04)

  Sustained vascular smooth muscle hypercontractility promotes hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The etiology of hypercontractility is not completely understood. New therapeutic targets remain vitally important for ...

• Young children in different linguistic environments: A multimodal neuroimaging study of the inferior frontal gyrus 

  Thieba, Camilia; Long, Xiangyu; Dewey, Deborah; Lebel, Catherine A. (Cumming School of Medicine, Community Health Sciences, Paediatrics, Radiology, University of Calgary, 2018-07-11)

  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies show that bilingual adults display structural and functional brain alterations, especially in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), dependent on when they learned their second language. ...
