G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) density at the cell surface is thought to regulate receptor function. Spatially resolved measurements of local-density effects on GPCRs are needed but technically limited by density heterogeneity and mobility of memb...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) costimulatory domains derived from native immune receptors steer the phenotypic output of therapeutic T cells. We constructed a library of CARs containing ~2300 synthetic costimulatory domains, built from combinations ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been the targets for more than 40% of the currently approved drugs. Although neural networks can effectively improve the accuracy of prediction with the biological activity, the result is undesirable in the li...
Kinase plays a significant role in various disease signaling pathways. Due to the highly conserved sequence of kinase family members, understanding the selectivity profile of kinase inhibitors remains a priority for drug discovery. Previous methods f...
A fundamental question in protein science is where allosteric hotspots - residues critical for allosteric signaling - are located, and what properties differentiate them. We carried out deep mutational scanning (DMS) of four homologous bacterial allo...
BACKGROUND: The transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF β-1) cytokine exerts both pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects in carcinogenesis. An increasing body of literature suggests that TGF β-1 signaling outcome is partially dependent on the regulatory tar...

Cells convey information about their extracellular environment to their core functional machineries. Studying the capacity of intracellular signaling pathways to transmit information addresses fundamental questions about living systems. Here, we revi...
To study the effects of dietary methionine on growth performance, immunity, antioxidant capacity, protein metabolism, inflammatory response and apoptosis factors in Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis). Five diets with different methionine level...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, affect several million individuals worldwide. These diseases are heterogeneous at the clinical, immunological and genetic levels and result from complex host and en...
Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress produced a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which played a pivotal role in balanced ability and determining cell fate. The activated Nrf2 signaling pathway that responds to the excessive ROS regulated the ex...
