Partially Glycosylated Dendrimers Block MD-2 and Prevent TLR4-MD-2-LPS Complex Mediated Cytokine Responses

The crystal structure of the TLR4-MD-2-LPS complex responsible for triggering powerful pro-inflammatory cytokine responses has recently become available. Central to cell surface complex formation is binding of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to soluble MD-2. We have previously shown, in biologically based experiments, that a generation 3.5 PAMAM dendrimer with 64 peripheral carboxylic acid groups acts...

During her time in residency, Jenny developed an interest in patient safety and transitions of care, specifically, the hand-off process. As our EIP application and proposals unfolded, Jenny became involved in the design and implementation of a hand-off study, which is known as the ISWITCH study. This innovative project tested different methods of handoff training and compared the effectiveness ...
