Since their finding of ‘monomeric IgE effects’ on mast cell survival in 2001, Dr. Kawakami and associates have shown that
Given their previous studies on crosstalks between PTKs-dependent and G protein-coupled receptor-dependent signals in FceRI-stimulated mast cells, they have been
As our knowledge of the FceRI-mediated signal transduction has grown for the last two decades, the need to study in
During the course of the above-mentioned study, they found interactions between Btk and protein kinase C (PKC)-b and terreic acid
Dr. Kawakami has been using the high-affinity IgE receptor (FceRI) signaling in mast cells as a model system. Following his
Broadly neutralizing antibodies have been discovered in ~5% of HIV+ individuals. Some of those antibodies (HIV bnAbs) are capable of
