Inhibiting Insulin-Mediated β2-Adrenergic Receptor Activation Prevents Diabetes-Associated Cardiac Dysfunction

Q Wang, Y Liu, Q Fu, B Xu, Y Zhang, S Kim, R Tan… - Circulation, 2017 - Am Heart Assoc
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity independently increase the risk of
heart failure by incompletely understood mechanisms. We propose that hyperinsulinemia …

[PDF][PDF] Cooperative accumulation of dynein-dynactin at microtubule minus-ends drives microtubule network reorganization

R Tan, PJ Foster, DJ Needleman, RJ McKenney - Developmental cell, 2018 - cell.com
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a minus-end-directed motor protein that transports cargo over long
distances and organizes the intracellular microtubule (MT) network. How dynein motor …

Microtubule lattice spacing governs cohesive envelope formation of tau family proteins

V Siahaan, R Tan, T Humhalova, L Libusova… - Nature chemical …, 2022 - nature.com
