Project description:We report that knocking down the Mitochondrial Pruvate Carrier 1 (MPC1) in the hearts of adult mice is sufficient to induce hypertrophy and heart failure.
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine how knockout or pharmacological inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) alters lineage identity in the prostate. We isolated basal cells from Mpc1 floxed mouse prostates and transduced with a control RFP virus or Cre recombinase virus. We then plated into organoid culture and treated with either vehicle or the small molecule MPC inhibitor UK5099 for one week.
Project description:Azole resistance was induced in vitro by growth of a susceptible C. parapsilosis isolate in the presence of voriconazole. Whole genome microarrays were used to compare the transcriptional response of the voriconizole-resistant and susceptible isolates.
Project description:Azole resistance was induced in vitro by growth of a susceptible C. parapsilosis isolate in the presence of posaconazole. Whole genome microarrays were used to compare the transcriptional response of the posaconazole-resistant and susceptible isolates.
