Novel Mechanism of Microvesicle Regulation by the Antiviral Protein Tetherin During HIV Infection Open
Background Microvesicles are cell membrane–derived vesicles that have been shown to augment inflammation. Specifically, monocyte‐derived microvesicles (MDMVs), which can express the coagulation protein tissue factor, contribute to thrombus…

Monocytes complexed to platelets differentiate into functionally deficient dendritic cells Open
In addition to their role in hemostasis, platelets store numerous immunoregulatory molecules such as CD40L, TGFβ, β2-microglobulin, and IL-1β and release them upon activation. Previous studies indicate that activated platelets form transie…

Lessons Learned from Twelve Years of Partnered Tobacco Cessation Research in the Dominican Republic Open
Engaging partners for tobacco control within low and middle income countries (LMICs) at early stages of tobacco control presents both challenges and opportunities in the global effort to avert the one billion premature tobacco caused death…

Disruption of a cystine transporter downregulates expression of genes involved in sulfur regulation and cellular respiration Open
Cystine and cysteine are important molecules for pathways such as redox signaling and regulation, and thus identifying cellular deficits upon deletion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cystine transporter Ers1p allows for a further understan…

Tobacco Cessation in Economically Disadvantaged Dominican Republic Communities: Who are the Ex-Users? Open
Introduction: Tobacco use and its harm continue to increase in low and middle income countries (LMICs) globally. Smoking cessation is the most effective means of reducing morbidity and mortality from tobacco use. Increasing the prevalence …
