March 31, 2022 - Top Cited Article
I received a notice from Wiley Press that our paper published in Molecular Reproduction and Development is a Top Cited Article for 2020-2021 (Citation data from Clarivate Analytics).
Congratulations to my Ph.D. students, Sachin Sharma and Girish Kumaran.
February-March, 2020 - Our papers selected for journal cover images
Within two months (February-March, 2020), two of our articles have been independently selected to be featured on the cover of two great journals.
 |  |
| Classification of epithelial cells in nephron segments by actin cytoskeleton patterns. FEBS J 287:1176-1194, 2020. | High-resolution imaging of the actin cytoskeleton and epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), CFTR and aquaporin-9 localization in the vas deferens. Mol. Reprod. Dev. 87:305-319, 2020. |
Our laboratory works mostly with molecular biology techniques on the following subjects:
- Protein and enzyme engineering employing techniques of molecular biology. Structure-function analysis of protein and enzyme structure.
- Structure-function relationships in Epithelial Sodium Channels (ENaC) that regulate blood volume and blood-pressure.
- Mapping sites of localization of ENaC and CFTR in epithelial tissues, using confocal microscopy.
- Intracellular trafficking of ENaC subunits in Xenopus oocytes and epithelial cells.
- Molecular genetics of mineralocorticoid hormone unresponsiveness (pseudohypoaldosteronism) caused by mutations in epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunit genes.
- Structure-function analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome P450 system electron transport enzymes involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis (steroidogenesis).
