  • PI4,5P2 regulates the polarized trafficking of integrins through EXO70 for directional cell migration 
    Jaguparov, A.; Tursynbay, Y.; Kim, A.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The polarized delivery of integrin adhesion molecules to the leading edge is required for cell migration and has been linked to cancer cell invasion, cancer aggressiveness, and poor patient outcome (1,2). Thus, regulators ...
  • PIPK1a regulates RAC1 and akt activation to promote cell migration and proliferation 
    Merzhakupova, D.; Adilgozhina, G.; Kim, A.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Rac1 activity is concentrated at the front of migrating cells where it initiates signaling processes necessary for cell migration in normal and pathological situations. The signaling pathways downstream of Rac1 are well ...
  • PIPK1b regulates E-cadherin endocytosis in polarized breast cancer cells and promotes a switch to a migratory phenotype 
    Azhunussova, A.; Shayakhmetov, Y.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The endocytosis, degradation, and recycling of cadherins is crucial for the dynamic regulation of adherens junctions and the control of cell-cell adhesion during tissue formation and in many pathological conditions. In ...
  • PIPK1b regulates integrin endocytosis for focal adhesion disassembly by modulating the recruitment of the endocytic machinery to focal adhesions 
    Beisekenova, S.; Ospanova, B.; Kabdullayeva, T.; Chao, W. T.; Kunz, J. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Cell migration and tissue invasion during tumor metastasis require the regulated disassembly of focal adhesions, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. We previously showed that the turnover of focal adhesions ...
  • Polymer coating enhances affinity of bone marrow-derived MSCS to bone 
    Yantsen, Y.; Askarova, Sholpan; Adambekov, S.; Murata, H.; Andersen, J.; D’Souza, S.; Edington, C.; Koepsel, R.; Russell, A. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    The polymer coated cells were shown to be stably attached to bone fragments for at least 2 hours, confirming the bone targeting potential of the polymer. Our next step will be to test this approach in rat model of osteoporosis ...
  • Polymeric materials as photovoltaic materials for solar cells 
    Tastanbekov, D.; Ibraikulov, O.; Koishiyev, G.; Chavez-Vasquez, P.; Chochos, C.; Leclerc, N.; Bechara, R.; Lévêque, P.; Heiser, T. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    Investigation revealed that alkyl chains in beta-position (fourth position of thiophene rings) lead to better pi-electron delocalisation due to enchanced planarity, because such position avoids rotational hinderance. Also, ...
  • Poor water management and freedom:interconnected areas 
    Kakenova, A.; Muratbekuly, S. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The shortage of potable water supply has become a rapidly growing obstacle for the social development of the Central Asian regions. Kazakhstan is not the exception. One third of the population has access to improperly ...
