Nature, Nurture, and Empowerment: An Ecofeminist Reading of Utkarsh Patel’s Mythological Fiction Shakuntala: The Woman Wronged Open
The present research revisits the mythological fiction of Shakuntala: The Woman Wronged (2015) through an ecofeminist lens. Author Utkarsh Patel approaches the legendary tale of submissive Shakuntala and recreates it by arming her with the…

A conserved mechanism for JNK-mediated loss of Notch function in advanced prostate cancer Open
Dysregulated Notch signaling is a common feature of cancer; however, its effects on tumor initiation and progression are highly variable, with Notch having either oncogenic or tumor-suppressive functions in various cancers. To better under…

Wnt signaling couples G2 phase control with differentiation during hematopoiesis Open
Summary During homeostasis, a critical balance is maintained between myeloid-like progenitors and their differentiated progeny, which function to mitigate stress and innate immune challenges. The molecular mechanisms that help achieve this…

Injury-induced inflammatory signaling and hematopoiesis in <i>Drosophila</i> Open
Significance We explore mechanisms by which stress caused by acute injury affects blood cell development and inflammatory response in Drosophila . Similar to their mammalian myeloid counterparts, these cells are predisposed to sense and re…

Intermediate progenitor cells provide a transition between hematopoietic progenitors and their differentiated descendants Open
Genetic and genomic analysis in Drosophila suggests that hematopoietic progenitors likely transition into terminal fates via intermediate progenitors (IPs) with some characteristics of either, but perhaps maintaining IP-specific markers. I…

Cardiomyocytes disrupt pyrimidine biosynthesis in nonmyocytes to regulate heart repair Open
Various populations of cells are recruited to the heart after cardiac injury, but little is known about whether cardiomyocytes directly regulate heart repair. Using a murine model of ischemic cardiac injury, we demonstrate that cardiomyocy…

Paths and pathways that generate cell-type heterogeneity and developmental progression in hematopoiesis Open
Mechanistic studies of Drosophila lymph gland hematopoiesis are limited by the availability of cell-type-specific markers. Using a combination of bulk RNA-Seq of FACS-sorted cells, single-cell RNA-Seq, and genetic dissection, we identify n…

Injury-induced inflammatory signaling and hematopoiesis in <i>Drosophila</i> Open
Inflammatory response in Drosophila to sterile (axenic) injury in embryos and adults has received some attention in recent years, and most concentrate on the events at the injury site. Here we focus on the effect sterile injury has on the …

The Metabolic Landscape of Thymic T Cell Development In Vivo and In Vitro Open
Although metabolic pathways have been shown to control differentiation and activation in peripheral T cells, metabolic studies on thymic T cell development are still lacking, especially in human tissue. In this study, we use transcriptomic…

Metabolic Plasticity drives Development during Mammalian Embryogenesis Open
Summary Preimplantation mouse embryos interact minimally with their environment, and development is largely driven by metabolic processes. During the earliest cleavage stages, metabolism is rigid, with maternal deposits enforcing a redox s…

Glucose metabolism distinguishes TE from ICM fate during mammalian embryogenesis Open
Summary The mouse embryo undergoes compaction at the 8-cell stage and its transition to 16 cells generates polarity such that the outer apical cells are trophectoderm (TE) precursors and the inner cell mass (ICM) gives rise to the embryo. …
