Current Yale University Graduate Student and Morehouse College alumnus, Dennis Jones discusses some of his research on the BMX gene in a mouse model of cancer progression.
R.A. Flavell (Yale University, New Haven, CT) discusses the role of Transforming Growth Factor ß (TGFß) in disease. In the central nervous system of a murine model of AD this cytokine appears to prevent macrophages from attacking ß-amyloid. Flavell visualizes that selective blockade of this TGFß
activity could lead to the destruction of plaques in patients with AD.
