Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial Ca2 + uniporter complex

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent discoveries about the molecular basis of the uniporter complex, a complex of proteins that include a Ca(2+) pore forming component and accessory proteins that are either required for its channel activity or regulate it under various conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CPT1a inhibitor, etomoxir induces severe oxidative stress at commonly used concentrations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the inhibition of oxidative metabolism in T cells by ETO is independent of its effects on FAO at concentrations exceeding 5 μM, and caution should be used when employing this compound for studies in cells due to its non-specific effects on oxidative metabolism and cellular redox.
Journal ArticleDOI

4-1BB costimulation promotes CAR T cell survival through noncanonical NF-κB signaling

TL;DR: The findings suggest that manipulation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in future CAR T cell designs may provide clinical benefit, and demonstrate the necessary and nonredundant role of ncNF-κBs signaling in promoting the survival of BBζ CAR T cells, which likely underlies the engraftment persistence observed with this CAR design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Naturally Produced Defensive Alkenal Compounds Activate TRPA1.

TL;DR: The results suggest that TRPA1 is likely a major target of these commonly used defensive chemicals, as a channel with cysteines at 621, 641, 665 mutated to serine responded robustly.
