HubMOL is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network funded by Horizon Europe.

The hub molecules of life comprise a set of cofactors that are crucial for all cellular functions. They are well known for their central roles in both metabolism and signalling. Still, our limited knowledge of the crosstalk and the reciprocal connectivity between key metabolic and signal transduction pathways and the dynamic interplay of hub molecules is currently hampering their exploitation. Imbalances in hub ...

Endometriosis research done by the Griffith lab (MIT) and the Goods lab (Dartmouth)

ABSTRACT – OVERALL The primary focus of the MIT/DFCI Center for Systems Biology of Glioblastoma is to understand the intersections between neurons, immune cells, and tumor cells in this deadly tumor. The lack of response to immunotherapy strategies despite prominent infiltrates of immune cells in many GBM highlights the immuno- suppressive nature of the GBM microenvironment and the importance of more clearly understanding the dynamic interactions at the tumor/immune interface. Similarly, interactions ...

Understanding the spectrum of complex metastatic processes is important to the development of a comprehensive and cohesive understanding of cancer metastasis. The Metastasis Research Network (MetNet) supports collaborative, multidisciplinary projects that focus on several themes of the metastatic process and use integrative systems-level approaches.

MetNet is advancing the understanding of metastasis as a non-linear, dynamic, and emergent process, as well as revealing mechanistic insights of early ...

The MIT Superfund Research Program was created in 2017 to be responsive to communities who live near Superfund Sites. In particular, the MIT team leverages scientific research, community engagement, and educational experiences to support people who are concerned about hazardous chemicals in their environment.

Carcinogenic contaminants threaten the health of people living in the Mystic River Watershed (near the Olin, Industriplex, and Wells G&H Superfund sites) and members of Native American ...

About

This project houses all the publicly available datasets generated by the Hi-IMPAcTB consortium over the course of its 7+ years.

What is Hi-IMPAcTB?

Hi-IMPAcTB is an ambitious endeavor bringing together a team of international, interdisciplinary researchers to improve our understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the context of tuberculosis (TB). Funded by a multi-center contract from the NIH, the long-term goal of the consortium is to enable principled vaccine design by improving ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects around 9% of the global population and is the 12th leading cause of death (GBD Chronic Kidney Disease Collaboration 2020). Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common form of CKD, responsible for nearly half of all end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cases (Samsu 2021). Despite its high burden, progress in developing effective therapies has been slow, largely due to limited understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.

DKD is driven by complex and ...

The mission of the Virtual Human Platform is to improve the prediction of the potential harmful effects of chemicals and pharmaceuticals based on a holistic, interdisciplinary definition of human health by developing the Virtual Human Platform and accelerating the transition from animal-based testing to innovative safety assessment. The Virtual Human Platform integrates data on human physiology, chemical characteristics and perturbations of biological pathways, for the first time in an inclusive ...

Mission: We perform cutting-edge research on data generated by novel biomolecular technologies to address questions in pneumology. Towards this, we use biological high-throughput data, i.e., OMICs data, to gain insights into molecular and phenotypic traits and diseases using computational methods. We combine data, methodology and their applications in pneumology through interdisciplinary collaboration with mathematicians, computer scientists, biologists and physicians.

3T3 murine embryonic fibroblasts are used as feeder layers to support the proliferative potential of human primary keratinocytes during in vitro expansion for cell and gene therapy applications. To identify signals mediating this function, we analyzed fibroblast protein content using mass spectrometry. We compared the proteome of lethally irradiated fibroblasts used as feeder layers in two conditions: standard quality (SQ-FL) and low quality (LQ-FL) fibroblasts. Our findings highlight differences ...
