General description

A monocarboxylate that catalyzes the electroneutral exchange of an alkali metal for H+ (antiport). Transports monovalent cations across membranes with the following specificities: K+>Rb+>Cs+>>Na+. An antibiotic that kills bacteria by facilitating the diffusion of ions across membranes. Disrupts the membrane potential and stimulates mitochondrial ATPase activity.

Cell death and differentiation, 28(4), 1418-1433 (2020-11-20)
Hepatocyte cell death and liver inflammation have been well recognized as central characteristics of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), however, the underlying molecular basis remains elusive. The kinase receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) is a multitasking molecule with distinct functions in regulating apoptosis

Fluorescence based intracellular pH nanoprobes have been developed that overcomes the limitations imposed by shallow penetration depth of ultraviolet excitation, photostability, phototoxicity, and interference from background autofluorescence. In this study, we have constructed a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) based

SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging coronavirus that causes dysfunctions in multiple human cells and tissues. Studies have looked at the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells mediated by the viral spike protein and human receptor ACE2. However, less is known about

Excessive inflammatory responses induced upon SARS-CoV-2 infection are associated with severe symptoms of COVID-19. Inflammasomes activated in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection are also associated with COVID-19 severity. Here, we show a distinct mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 N protein promotes NLRP3
