Disease-specific differences in particulate matter handling drive pathogenic responses in human derived nasal epithelial cells

Yiran Li, Bangqiao Yin, Emily Eberhardt, Xinyi Deng, Rachael Wasikowski, Hannah L. Briggs, Christina E Years, Jennifer P. Fox, John Chad Brenner, Lam C. Tsoi, Johann Eli Gudjonsson, Stuart Batterman, Mara C. Duncan, Marc B. Hershenson, Amarbir S. Gill

The paper investigates how particulate matter exposure affects nasal epithelial cells in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and controls, finding amplified inflammatory and barrier dysfunction responses in CRS cells.

Characterization of a high-intensity band that cross-reacts with FLAG-M2 antibodies in immunoblots in a subset of laboratory strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Nicolle K. Reid, Amy C. Liang, Mara C. Duncan

The paper identifies a high-intensity cross-reactive band in immunoblots of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains using FLAG-M2 antibodies and shows it is not Rtf1.
