| Contact: | Dolores Mendoza 323) 442-1283 dmmendoz@usc.edu |
| |
Dr. Mircheff's current research is based on the working hypothesis that cells with aberrant expression of the major histocompatibility complex Class II molecules (MHC II, or, in humans, HLA II) provokes autoimmune responses by proteolytically processing and presenting certain of their own proteins with mechanisms that mimic those used by the professional antigen presenting cells. It is expected that this work will lead to insights into the mechanisms that initiate autoimmune processes in a variety of tissues. The understanding gained will lead to new therapeutic and preventive strategies. In addition to these possible clinical implications, Dr. Mircheff's work is contributing to the understanding mechanisms of sorting and targeting that underlie the development of epithelial polarity, intracellular compartmentation, and rapid responses to regulatory signals. Refreshments will be served. |

Dr. Lemasters' research is the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that explain hypoxic and toxic injury to liver and heart.
Dr. Lemasters was first to show that changes in mitochondrial integrity: the mitochondrial permeability transition play a most important role in necrotic and apoptotic cell death.
Another major area of research is the study of reperfusion injury to organs stored for transplantation surgery.
Refreshements will be served. |
