Our paper on lipidomic studies of cross-resistance and seesaw effect in MRSA published in JAC

This is a collaborative work with the Werth lab at the Department of Pharmacy and Salipante Lab at Laboratory Medicine! Check out the paper at Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy: Occurrence of cross-resistance and β-lactam seesaw effect in glycopeptide-, lipopeptide- and lipoglycopeptide-resistant MRSA correlates with membrane phosphatidylglycerol levels.

Josi’s paper on multi-omics analysis of benzalkonium chloride was accepted to Toxicological Sciences and Selected as Cover Art!

In this work, we used a combination of sterolomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics to investigate the consequences of sterol and lipid homeostasis in neonatal brains after in utero exposure. Check out the paper here. Update on 09/10/19, the paper was highlighted in Tox Spotlight and selected as a cover art of the issue!

Our collaborative work on Smoothened-activating cilia oxysterols was published in Molecular Cell!

This work reported cilia-associated oxysterols can activate Hedgehog signaling through Smoothened and inhibition of the formation of such oxysterols can impede Hedgehog pathway activation. This is a multi-institutional collaboration led by David Raleigh and Jeremy Reiter at UCSF. Good job by Kelly on the oxysterol analysis in this work! Check out the paper here and the Cover Art of the issue illustrating findings in this paper.
