Commented on The Drosophila Y chromosome affects heterochromatin integrity genome-wide
It would be very interesting to study the sex-specific heterochromatin differences across other Drosophila species.

Article

Commented on Chromosome-Wide Gene Silencing Initiates Y Degeneration in Drosophila
Is there a difference between the neo-Y chromosome, and the regular Y chromosome? Or are they the same (just a different name)?

Article

Commented on Positive and Purifying Selection on the Drosophila Y Chromosome
I assume the FDY gene was not studied because it's exclusive to Drosophila melanogaster?

Article

Commented on Mitochondrial-Y chromosome epistasis in Drosophila melanogaster
Very cool link between Drosophila Y chromosome and longevity.

Article

Commented on Involvement of the Mannose Receptor and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathway of the Microdomain of the Integral Membrane Protein after Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Infection
I wonder if anyone has an idea of the effects on the intestinal microbial communities for MIMP directed therapies.

Article

Commented on Mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway in oral cancer (Review)
Excellent review of MAPK and oral cancer. On average, how long does it take to confer resistance to MAPK targeted therapies, if only a single subpathway/family is targeted?

Article

Commented on Mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in osteosarcoma
Are any other MAPKs of interest in osteosarcoma, such as JNK or p38?

Article

Commented on ERK Mutations Confer Resistance to Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway Inhibitors
I wonder how such mutations would act in animal models. It would be very interesting to see!

Article

Commented on Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium septicum toxoid to control cellulitis in turkeys
If such turkeys are for consumption, what would be the effect of such toxins on humans?

Article

Commented on Anopheles stephensi p38 MAPK signaling regulates innate immunity and bioenergetics during Plasmodium falciparum infection
Are similar MAPK-signaling immune responses seen in other mosquito species? Or other parasitic infections in mosquitoes?

Article

Commented on Neospora caninum Activates p38 MAPK as an Evasion Mechanism against Innate Immunity
What other functions is the GRA24 protein known to have, specifically during infection?

Article

Commented on The Pore-Forming Toxin β hemolysin/cytolysin Triggers p38 MAPK-Dependent IL-10 Production in Macrophages and Inhibits Innate Immunity
Very new interesting function for pore-forming toxins (PFTs). It would be interesting to do a screen of all PFTs, and see how they vary in MAPK responses.
