The recognition of head orientation in the adult involves multi-level integration of inputs within the central vestibular circuitry. How the different inputs are recruited during postnatal development remains unclear. We hypothesize that glutamatergic transmission at the vestibular nucleus contribut
Lipid mediators are bioactive metabolites of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that play diverse roles inthe initiation, self-limitation, and active resolution of inflammation. Prostaglandins, classical pro-inflammatory lipid metabolites of arachidonic acid, have long been implicated
Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research.Alcohol Clin Exp Res.2015 Mar;39(3):434-44. doi: 10.1111/acer.12647. Epub 2015 Feb 19.
BACKGROUND: Chronic alcohol exposure alters the function of alveolar macrophages (AM), impairing immune defenses in both adult and neonatal lungs. Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are biological markers of prenatal alcohol exposure in newborns. FAEEs contribute to alcohol-induced mitochondrial (MT) d

Proteasomes and lysosomes constitute the major cellular systems that catabolize proteins to recycle free amino acids for energy and new protein synthesis. Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII) is a large cytosolic proteolytic complex that functions in tandem with the proteasome-ubiquitin protein degrada
