 | | Using both experimental and computational approaches, they found surprisingly that different cells could use a common set of effector proteins yet still show dramatically different responses to cytokines, viruses, and anticaner drugs (Nature 448:604 (2007)). |
 | | The results suggest that cells predominantly differ in the way that their intracellular signals are activated, rather than how these signals are interpreted via effector proteins to control cellular outcomes. |
 | | Bruce Spiegelman, Professor of Cell Biology, and colleagues have shown that nearly all of the effects of AMPK on muscle gene expression, including mitochondrial genes and Glut4, are dependent genetically on PGC-1α (Jager S, Handschin C, St-Pierre J, Spiegelman BM. |
