1. Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics
Abstract : Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotinic acetylcholine is densely packed under the motor nerve termini. READ MORE

2. Structural Details of Human Aquaporin Regulation : Three stories of three aquaporins
Abstract : Every cell is surrounded by a thin plasma membrane, protecting it from its surrounding. Specialized protein channels and transporters are embedded in this membrane, ensuring selective transport of molecules in and out of the cells. To maintain optimal hydration, water channels called aquaporins (AQPs) are present in every cell of our body. READ MORE

3. Protein-Protein Interactions in Human Aquaporin Regulation
Abstract : Water is an essential compoment of every living orgamism and forms a major part of the human body. Regulated water transport is crucial for proper cell functioning and body homeostasis. READ MORE

4. G protein-coupled receptor regulation: The role of protein interactions and receptor trafficking
Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) is the largest gene family in the human genome. GPCR-mediated signaling operates in every human cell, and about 50% of existing clinically useful drugs act through GPCR. READ MORE

5. Structural Studies of the Human Water Channel Protein Aquaporin 5
Abstract : Aquaporins are water channel proteins found in the membranes of all living cells. In humans, thirteen aquaporins have been identified to date. Many of them have been implicated in water imbalance disorders. Water transport through the aquaporins is regulated at several levels. READ MORE
