    • Charting brain functional development from birth to 6 years of age April 15, 2025
      Early childhood is crucial for brain functional development. Using advanced neuroimaging methods, characterizing functional connectivity has shed light on the developmental process in infants. However, insights into spatiotemporal functional maturation from birth to early childhood are substantially lacking. In this study, we aggregated 1,091 resting-state functional MRI scans of typically developing children from birth to […]

    • Molecular and functional profiling of Gαi as an intracellular pH sensor April 11, 2025
      Heterotrimeric G proteins (Gα, Gβ and Gγ) act downstream of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to mediate signaling pathways that regulate various physiological processes and human disease conditions. While human Gαi and its yeast homolog Gpa1 were previously postulated to function as intracellular pH sensors, the pH-sensing capabilities of Gαi and the underlying mechanism remain to be […]

    • An Analytical Screening Platform to Differentiate Acute and Prolonged Exposures of PFAS on Invasive Cellular Phenotypes March 29, 2025
      Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are "forever chemicals" and pervasive environmental contaminants associated with cancer. Epidemiological studies found that an increased incidence of hormone-sensitive breast cancer is correlated with PFAS exposure. Cell-based assays provide a well-controlled experimental platform to quantify cellular responses as a function of exposure. Given the nearly 15,000 known PFAS on the […]
