Journal Article
Singh, Y., Garden, O. A., Lang, F., & Cobb, B. S. (2015). MicroRNA-15b/16 Enhances the Induction of Regulatory T Cells by Regulating the Expression of Rictor and mTOR. Journal of Immunology, 195(12), 5667-5677. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.1401875

CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for controlling immune responses and preventing autoimmunity. Their development requires regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs). To understand miRNA function in Treg development, we searche... Read More about MicroRNA-15b/16 Enhances the Induction of Regulatory T Cells by Regulating the Expression of Rictor and mTOR.

Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development (2015)
Journal Article
El-Magd, M. A., Allen, S. P., McGonnell, I. M., Mansour, A. A., Otto, A., & Patel, K. (2015). Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development. Gene, 554(1), 87-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gene.2014.10.028

The chick early B-cell factor 1 (cEbf1) is a member of EBF family of helix loop helix transcription factors. Recently, we have proved that cEbf1 expression in feather is regulated by Shh. It is therefore possible that the somitic expression of cEbf1... Read More about Shh regulates chick Ebf1 gene expression in somite development.
