Dissecting tumor metabolic heterogeneity : Telomerase and large cell size metabolically define a sub-population of stem-like, mitochondrial-rich, cancer cells (2015)
Journal Article

Tumor cell metabolic heterogeneity is thought to contribute to tumor recurrence, distant metastasis and chemo-resistance in cancer patients, driving poor clinical outcome. To better understand tumor metabolic heterogeneity, here we used the MCF7 brea...

The differential role of renoguanylin in osmoregulation and apical Cl−/HCO3− exchange activity in the posterior intestine of the Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) (2015)
Journal Article

The guanylin family of peptides are effective regulators of intestinal physiology in marine teleosts. In the distal intestinal segments, they inhibit or reverse fluid absorption by inhibiting the absorptive short-circuit current (Isc). The present fi...
