DUX4-stimulated genes define the antiviral response to herpesviruses in human trophoblasts.
Preprint · January 24, 2025 Full text Link to item CiteMonitoring cell fate in 3D organotypic human squamous epithelial cultures.
Journal Article STAR protocols · March 2023 Here, we provide a protocol to model the effects of changes to a small number of cells, such as those arising from a mutation or a virus infection, in stratified epithelia. We describe steps for diluting engineered human keratinocytes into a larger populat ...

Journal Article Viruses · July 2022 Interactions between lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) and HIV-1 Gag facilitate selective packaging of the HIV-1 reverse transcription primer, tRNALys3. During HIV-1 infection, LysRS is phosphorylated at S207, released from a multi-aminoacyl-tRNA sy ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
