Heart disease, cancer and many other maladies could be cured if we understood how genes interact with each other in order to produce different symptoms. Many of these problems […]
A Novel Nuclear Variant of nBMP-2: Role in Ca2+ Transport
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to elucidate the role that nBMP-2 plays in Ca2+ transport. In the previous year, we demonstrated that mice that have no nBMP-2 in the nuclei of their cells exhibit delays in the transport of Ca2+ back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum […]
