Drs. Alison Kell and Suresh Kumar have been awarded the first two CoV2 pilot award by the AIM Center. As the world continues to rally against Covid-19, the AIM center hopes to be at the forefront of CoV2 research. 

We have another round of publications from two AIM Center affiliates, both supported by the AIM Center's P20 grant!

First we have "Preclinical efficacy of the GPER-selective agonist G-1 in mouse models of obesity and diabetes" from the AIM Center's associate director, Dr. Eric Prossnitz. If you'd like to read more, you can go here!

Second is from Dr. Vojo Deretic's postdoc, Dr. Jingyue Jia. Her new publication titled, "AMPK, a Regulator of Metabolism and Autophagy, Is Activated by Lysosomal Damage via a Novel Galectin-Directed Ubiquitin Signal Transduction System" can be found here!

Two new publications have recently been published online through Cell. The first is from AIM Center co-director, Dr. Prossnitz, titled, "A Selective Ligand for Estrogen Receptor Proteins Discriminates Rapid and Genomic Signaling". You can view that here.

The second comes from Dr. Jia, from the AIM Center Director, Dr. Vojo Deretic's lab, titled "Galectin-3 Coordinates a Cellular System for Lysosomal Repair and Removal". You can view that here!
