Investigating the mechanism by which the platelet-derived growth factor receptor promotes metastasis in medulloblastoma by AbouAntoun, Thamara Jihad

“…Expression of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) correlates with metastatic medulloblastoma and PDGF treatment of medulloblastoma cells activates the pro-survival and pro-migratory pathways downstream of the receptor, for instance, increases extra-cellular regulated kinase (Erk1/2), Protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity and decreases phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression and activity. …”

A genetically encoded BRET-based SARS-CoV-2 Mpro protease activity sensor by Anupriya M. Geethakumari (17052375)

“…Further, in vitro assays with the BRET-based Mpro sensors revealed a molecular crowding-mediated increase in the rate of M^pro activity and a decrease in the inhibitory potential of GC376. The sensors developed here will find direct utility in studies related to drug discovery targeting the SARS-CoV-2 M^pro and functional genomics application to determine the effect of sequence variation in M^pro.…”
