Brain-Region-Specific Organoids Using Mini-bioreactors for Modeling ZIKV Exposure
- Xuyu Qian, H. N. Nguyen, +27 authors G. Ming
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 19 May 2016
Cerebral organoids, three-dimensional cultures that model organogenesis, provide a new platform to investigate human brain development. High cost, variability, and tissue heterogeneity limit their… Expand
Unified Polymerization Mechanism for the Assembly of ASC-Dependent Inflammasomes
- A. Lu, V. G. Magupalli, +7 authors E. Egelman
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 13 March 2014
Inflammasomes elicit host defense inside cells by activating caspase-1 for cytokine maturation and cell death. AIM2 and NLRP3 are representative sensor proteins in two major families of… Expand
The RIP1/RIP3 Necrosome Forms a Functional Amyloid Signaling Complex Required for Programmed Necrosis
- J. Li, Thomas McQuade, +9 authors H. Wu
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 20 July 2012
RIP1 and RIP3 kinases are central players in TNF-induced programmed necrosis. Here, we report that the RIP homotypic interaction motifs (RHIMs) of RIP1 and RIP3 mediate the assembly of heterodimeric… Expand
Genome-wide analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine distribution reveals its dual function in transcriptional regulation in mouse embryonic stem cells.
- H. Wu, A. D’Alessio, +5 authors Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Genes & development
- 1 April 2011
Recent studies have demonstrated that the Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family proteins can enzymatically convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). While 5mC has been studied… Expand
A Bayesian hierarchical model to detect differentially methylated loci from single nucleotide resolution sequencing data
- H. Feng, K. Conneely, H. Wu
- Medicine, Biology
- Nucleic acids research
- 20 February 2014
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that has essential roles in cellular processes including gene regulation, development and disease and is widely dysregulated in most types of… Expand
Reversing DNA Methylation: Mechanisms, Genomics, and Biological Functions
Methylation of cytosines in the mammalian genome represents a key epigenetic modification and is dynamically regulated during development. Compelling evidence now suggests that dynamic regulation of… Expand
Genome-scale epigenetic reprogramming during epithelial to mesenchymal transition
- O. G. McDonald, H. Wu, W. Timp, A. Doi, A. Feinberg
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Structural &Molecular Biology
- 6 May 2011
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an extreme example of cell plasticity that is important for normal development, injury repair and malignant progression. Widespread epigenetic… Expand
Mechanisms and functions of Tet protein-mediated 5-methylcytosine oxidation.
Ten-eleven translocation 1-3 (Tet1-3) proteins have recently been discovered in mammalian cells to be members of a family of DNA hydroxylases that possess enzymatic activity toward the methyl mark on… Expand
Death Domain Assembly Mechanism Revealed by Crystal Structure of the Oligomeric PIDDosome Core Complex
- H. Park, E. Logette, +4 authors H. Wu
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 9 February 2007
Proteins of the death domain (DD) superfamily mediate assembly of oligomeric signaling complexes for the activation of caspases and kinases via unknown mechanisms. Here we report the crystal… Expand
De novo rates and selection of large copy number variation.
- A. Itsara, H. Wu, +4 authors E. Eichler
- Biology, Medicine
- Genome research
- 1 November 2010
While copy number variation (CNV) is an active area of research, de novo mutation rates within human populations are not well characterized. By focusing on large (>100 kbp) events, we estimate the… Expand
