Texas A&M AgriLife researcher receives $4 million grant to study feeding intolerance in preterm infants
Novel noninvasive method allows for precise diagnosis of feeding intolerance severity AgriLife Today Article For infants, especially those born prematurely, nutrient absorption and proper development go hand in hand. However, no precise measures or clinical tools exist to measure nutrient absorption or to reliably differentiate between benign and life-threatening symptoms in the preterm infant. When…

BREAKTHROUGH IN Wnt SIGNALING PUBLISHED!
Breakthrough publication! Our recent paper in Nature Communications explains the novel structure-function mechanism by which cholesterol promotes colon cancer. From a functional perspective, Wnt factors organize to form specialized plasma membrane (PM) domains. Dysregulation of Wnt domain structure can promote oncogenic Wnt signaling. Here, we describe an intricate Wnt signaling-associated mechanism involving oncogenic truncated APC…
