Top-Down Regulation of Default Mode Activity in Spatial Visual Attention
Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Dorsal anterior cingulate and bilateral anterior insula form a task control network (TCN) whose primary function includes initiating and maintaining task-level cognitive set and exerting top-down regulation of sensorimotor processing.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Down-regulation of myogenin can reverse terminal muscle cell differentiation.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Certain higher vertebrates developed the ability to reverse muscle cell differentiation (dedifferentiation) as an additional mechanism to regenerate muscle. Mammals, on the other hand, show limited ability to reverse muscle cell differentiation. Myogenic

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

SV40 virus transformation down-regulates endothelin receptor
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1999 Simian virus 40 (SV40) is an oncogenic DNA virus that induces malignant transformation. Endothelin (ET), a 21 amino acid peptide with mitogenic and anti-apoptotic effects, binds to G-protein coupled ETA and ETB receptors. This report examines the effect of SV40 transformation on the expression of ET receptors.

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our
