Journal ArticleDOI

Arrestins block G protein-coupled receptor-mediated apoptosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in cells devoid of arrestins, the stimulation of numerous GPCRs including the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) initiates rapid cell rounding, annexin V positivity, and caspase activation followed by cell death followed by apoptosis.
Journal Article

Drug and Radiation Sensitivity Measurements of Successful Primary Monolayer Culturing of Human Tumor Cells Using Cell-adhesive Matrix and Supplemented Medium

TL;DR: This method for growing cells from primary human biopsy specimens is more efficient than the agar culture method, enables easier and better biological analysis of the actual cells grown, and permits improved characterization of drug and radiation survival curves.
Journal ArticleDOI

N-formyl peptide receptors internalize but do not recycle in the absence of arrestins.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that, although the FPR can internalize in the absence of arrestins, recycling of internalized receptors to the cell surface is prevented, and suggest a novel role for arrestins in the post-endocytic trafficking of GPCRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative Regulation of Phagocytosis in Murine Macrophages by the Src Kinase Family Member, Fgr

TL;DR: An important negative regulatory role is demonstrated for this Src kinase family member on opsonin-dependent phagocytosis by mouse macrophages and it is suggested that this homeostatic function must be overcome for optimal uptake and clearance of opsonized pathogens.
