Zbtb46 Expression Distinguishes Classical Dendritic Cells And Their Committed Progenitors From Other Immune Lineages, Ansuman T. Satpathy, Wumesh Kc, Jörn C. Albring, Brian T. Edelson, Nicole M. Kretzer, Deepta Bhattacharya, Theresa L. Murphy, Kenneth M. Murphy Jan 2012

Zbtb46 Expression Distinguishes Classical Dendritic Cells And Their Committed Progenitors From Other Immune Lineages, Ansuman T. Satpathy, Wumesh Kc, Jörn C. Albring, Brian T. Edelson, Nicole M. Kretzer, Deepta Bhattacharya, Theresa L. Murphy, Kenneth M. Murphy

Open Access Publications

Distinguishing dendritic cells (DCs) from other cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system is complicated by the shared expression of cell surface markers such as CD11c. In this study, we identified Zbtb46 (BTBD4) as a transcription factor selectively expressed by classical DCs (cDCs) and their committed progenitors but not by plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), monocytes, macrophages, or other lymphoid or myeloid lineages. Using homologous recombination, we replaced the first coding exon of Zbtb46 with GFP to inactivate the locus while allowing detection of Zbtb46 expression. GFP expression in Zbtb46(gfp/+) mice recapitulated the cDC-specific expression of the native locus, being restricted to cDC …

Security Policy Compliance: User Acceptance Perspective, Ahmad Al-Omari, Omar F. El-Gayar, Amit Deokar Jan 2012

Security Policy Compliance: User Acceptance Perspective, Ahmad Al-Omari, Omar F. El-Gayar, Amit Deokar

Research & Publications

Information security policy compliance is one of the key concerns that face organizations today. Although, technical and procedural security measures help improve information security, there is an increased need to accommodate human, social and organizational factors. While employees are considered the weakest link in information security domain, they also are assets that organizations need to leverage effectively. Employees’ compliance with Information Security Policies (ISPs) is critical to the success of an information security program. The purpose of this research is to develop a measurement tool that provides better measures for predicting and explaining employees’ compliance with ISPs by examining the …


Underwater Object Detection And Identification Using Distributed Pressure Sensors, Audrey Maertens Jan 2012

Underwater Object Detection And Identification Using Distributed Pressure Sensors, Audrey Maertens

Link Foundation Ocean Engineering and Instrumentation Fellowship Reports

Underwater vision is usually limited. Object detection and identification is therefore one of the main challenges of underwater navigation. A new sensing modality, specifically developed for underwater environments, would greatly increase the scope of underwater missions. Taking inspiration from the lateral line of fish, I believe that pressure sensing can be a viable alternative to vision in order to detect and identify obstacles. Recent advances in the area of micro-engineering will soon enable to build sensors that match the size and mimic the functions and organization of the lateral line. However, little is known about how the pressure distribution along …


Sexual Harassment 2.0, Mary Anne Franks Jan 2012

Sexual Harassment 2.0, Mary Anne Franks

Articles

Sexual harassment is a complex and evolving practice. The rise of sexual discrimination in cyberspace is only one of the most recent and most striking examples of the phenomenon's increasing complexity. Sexual harassment law, however, has not kept pace with this evolution. Discrimination law has not been adequately "updated" to address new and amplified practices of sex discrimination. Its two principal limitations are (1) it treats only sexual harassment that occurs in certain protected settings (e.g. the workplace or school) as actionable and (2) it assumes that both the activity and the resulting harm of sexual harassment occur in the …

Cardiac Pi3kα Signaling And K+ Channel Regulation In Cardiac Hypertrophy And Heart Failure, Kai-Chien Yang Jan 2012

Cardiac Pi3kα Signaling And K+ Channel Regulation In Cardiac Hypertrophy And Heart Failure, Kai-Chien Yang

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

Pathologic biomechanical stresses cause cardiac hypertrophy, which is associated with QT prolongation and increased risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Previous studies demonstrated that repolarizing K+ current densities are decreased in pressure overload-induced left ventricular hypertrophy, resulting in action potential and QT prolongation. Cardiac hypertrophy also occurs with exercise training, but this "physiological hypertrophy" is not associated with electrical abnormalities or increased arrhythmia risk, suggesting that repolarizing K+ currents are upregulated, in parallel with the increase in myocyte size, to maintain normal cardiac function. To explore this hypothesis directly, two mouse models of physiological hypertrophy, one produced by chronic exercise: swim-) …


Joint Functions Of Mett-10 And Dynein In The Caenorhabditis Elegans Germ Line, Maia Dorsett Jan 2012

Joint Functions Of Mett-10 And Dynein In The Caenorhabditis Elegans Germ Line, Maia Dorsett

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

During normal development as well as in diseased states such as cancer, extracellular "niches" often provide cues to proximal cells and activate intracellular pathways. Activation of such signaling pathways in turn instructs cellular proliferation and differentiation. In the C.elegans gonad, GLP-1/Notch signaling instructs germ line stem cells to self renew through mitotic cell division. As germ cells progressively move out of the niche, they differentiate by entering meiosis and eventually form gametes. Using this model system, I uncovered a cooperative role for the METT-10 putative methyltransferase and the dynein motor complex in regulating the balance between germ cell proliferation and …


Taspase1 Is A Non-Oncogene Mediator Of Tumorigenesis And Maintenance, David Chen Jan 2012

Taspase1 Is A Non-Oncogene Mediator Of Tumorigenesis And Maintenance, David Chen

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

The clinical success of oncogene-targeted therapies substantiates the continued reliance of certain cancers upon the continued function of apical oncogenes involved in its genesis--a phenomenon known as "oncogene addiction." Though this shift from non-targeted, cytotoxic therapies offers new hope to patients, resistance to oncogene inactivation often remains an eventuality, and it is clear that further investigation is required to more effectively battle cancer using alternative therapeutic targets. Our studies on Taspase1: threonine aspartase 1) reveal its role in coordinating cellular proliferation and apoptosis in cancer. Loss of Taspase1 by shRNA-mediated knockdown decreased cellular proliferation in a diverse set of cancer …

Functional Analysis Of Conserved Motifs In The Mechanosensitive Channel Homolog Mscs-Like2 From Arabidopsis Thaliana, Gregory S. Jensen, Elizabeth S. Haswell Jan 2012

Functional Analysis Of Conserved Motifs In The Mechanosensitive Channel Homolog Mscs-Like2 From Arabidopsis Thaliana, Gregory S. Jensen, Elizabeth S. Haswell

Biology Faculty Research

The Mechanosensitive channel of Small conductance (MscS) of Escherichia coli has become an excellent model system for the structural, biophysical, and functional study of mechanosensitive ion channels. MscS, a complex channel with multiple states, contributes to protection against lysis upon osmotic downshock. MscS homologs are widely and abundantly dispersed among the bacterial and plant lineages, but are not found in animals. Investigation into the eukaryotic branch of the MscS family is in the beginning stages, and it remains unclear how much MscS homologs from eukaryotes resemble E. coli MscS with respect to structure, function, and regulation. Here we test the …


Between Semiotic Democracy And Disobedience: Two Views Of Branding, Culture And Intellectualproperty, Sonia K. Katyal Jan 2012

Between Semiotic Democracy And Disobedience: Two Views Of Branding, Culture And Intellectualproperty, Sonia K. Katyal

Faculty Scholarship

Even though most scholars and judges treat intellectual property law as a predominantly content-neutral phenomenon, trademark law contains a statutory provision, section 2(a), that provides for the cancellation of marks that are “disparaging,” “immoral,” or “scandalous.” This provision has raised intrinsically powerful constitutional concerns, which invariably affect two central metaphors that are at war within trademark law: the marketplace of goods, which premises itself on the fixedness of intellectual properties, and the marketplace of ideas, which is premised on the very fluidity of language itself. Since the architecture of trademark law focuses only on how marks communicate information about a …

Three-Color Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering: From Tracing Dynamics Of Elementary Excitations In Solids To Imaging Of Live Cells., Manoj Kumar Dobbala

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Commonly used laser based spectroscopy and imaging techniques have both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, a system that allows access to molecularly specific properties is highly desired. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate state-of-the art for coherent laser spectroscopy and microscopy and their applications in biomedical imaging and condensed matter characterization. This study also demonstrates the capabilities and application of timedomain coherent spectroscopy technique to characterize soft- (aqueous media, large organic molecules and biological media) and traditional condensed matter (including solid state crystals, inorganic microstructures and photonic materials). Work on coherent multi-photon microscopy and approaches concerned to the …

Asian Treaty-Makers And Investment Treaty Arbitration: Negotiating With A Wary Eye, Locknie Hsu Jan 2012

Asian Treaty-Makers And Investment Treaty Arbitration: Negotiating With A Wary Eye, Locknie Hsu

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The recent increase in bilateral investment treaties and free trade agreements entered into by Asian states has exposed them to increased commitments to foreign investors and the risk of investor-state arbitration. The rise in such arbitrations elsewhere has led to a considerable body of arbitral case law. This article examines the trend of such increased exposure of Asian states, salient issues that have emerged in arbitration case law and lessons for Asian treaty-makers and their legal advisors.
