Transporters function in cellular influx and efflux to maintain homeostasis for normal cellular and tissue physiology. Therefore, they play an important role in eliminating xenobiotics from the body.
Cancer research at the Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology involves multiple laboratories with various focus areas. They include chemical carcinogenesis, metal carcinogenesis, tumor suppressor genes, gene regulation during carcinogenesis, redox-mediated mechanisms of tumor suppression, reactive oxygen species and cancer, cell signaling in cancer biology, environmental risk factors in cancer, and cancer prevention.
Wei has been awarded a predoctoral fellowship from American Heart Association 07/01/13 – 6/30/14. Her project title is: The Role of Mrp1 in Protecting against Doxorubicin - induced Cardiotoxicity.
It appears tiny and inconsequential enough, but the "super mouse" — created by researchers at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center some six years ago — has spawned plenty of new research into preventing and/or treating many types of cancer. Back in 2007, cancer researcher Vivek Rangnekar and his team announced that they discovered a gene — known as Par-4 —that specifically kills cancer cells without killing normal cells.

You may not know the human metapneumovirus by name, but chances are that you have met somewhere before.

HMPV, as it's known to virologists, is a common respiratory virus that new studies suggest is second only to influenza in the number of viral pneumonia cases it causes worldwide every year. Especially dangerous for small children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system, the virus strikes almost 100 percent of people on Earth at some point in their lives.

Is your NIH grant about to end? Three reports are required to properly close out a grant – a Federal Financial Report (FFR), which is submitted by Sponsored Projects Accounting; and two items which require PI involvement -- a Final Invention Statement and Certification, which is required even if there were no inventions and they were reported previously; and a Final Progress Report. These items are all due within 90 days of the project period end date.

As a PI, you can delegate certain functions and processes to other registered users within NIH eRA Commons. To make this easier, a new “Delegation” tab has been added within the “Admin” tab after logging in as PI. Refer to item 11in the directions documents "eRA Commons:  How to Basic Tasks Step by Step".
 

There are several structured child advocacy groups and activities at UK as well as many opportunities to become involved with our local community groups striving to improve child health and wellbeing. Child Advocacy Day in Frankfort, AdvoCATS, and Child Advocacy Today (CAT) are just a few.
