Our team is focused on developing basic and translational models of pediatric sarcomas—devastating and aggressive solid tumors with limited therapeutic options. Specifically, we study fusion-driven rhabdomyosarcoma, which is thought to arise from a misregulation of skeletal muscle developmental pathways. We use cell culture and transgenic zebrafish systems to delineate the underlying biology of the disease and then apply that knowledge to identify molecular targets. Our ultimate goal is to apply our models as discovery- based tools to derive mechanistic insights for improving outcomes for children with cancer....

During the Malone procedure, the surgeon connects part of the appendix to the abdomen or belly button, creating a one way valve between the skin and colon....

A recent trend featured in television shows has people organizing their pantries, closets, shelves, and countertops using clear acrylic containers. They are removing products from their original packaging to use color and space in a more pleasing way.
