Biological processes during term parturition

In this episode, Nardhy Gomez-Lopez explains how single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals the contributions of specific myometrial cell types to the biological processes implicated in term parturition.

Protection against preterm birth and fetal inflammatory injury

In this episode, Nardhy Gomez-Lopez explains that macrophages exert anti-inflammatory effects in late gestation, to maintain uterine quiescence and to protect against fetal inflammatory injury that compromises postnatal survival.

MLK3 mediation and the impact of PKG1α on cardiac function

In this episode, Robert Blanton explains how this paper identifies mixed lineage kinase 3 as a novel PKG1a substrate. MLK3 mediates PKGI therapeutic effects on LV function but regulates blood pressure independently of PKG1.

Antibodies to vaccine-preventable infections and CAR-T cell therapy

In this episode, Joshua Hill explains that they investigated antibodies to vaccine-preventable infections and other pathogen-specific antibodies in individuals with remission after CAR-T-cell therapy for B-lineage malignancies.

Regulation of human brown/beige adipocyte lipolysis and thermogenesis

In this episode, Cheryl Cero explains that β3-ARs in human brown/beige adipocytes are required to maintain multiple components of lipolytic and thermogenic cellular machinery and β3-AR agonists could be used to achieve metabolic benefit in humans.
