The overarching goal of this proposal is to establish the baboon as a relevant model of age-related cognitive impairment by validating behavioral, cognitive, and neuroanatomical features affected in aged baboons and identifying the appropriate miRNA biomarkers that may be causal of the age-related structural and functional changes.

M. tuberculosis, which causes the worldwide global health problem tuberculosis (TB), is transmitted human to human via the airborne route into lung alveoli and ultimately exploits and grows in host macrophages. We seek to understand the cell signaling pathways initiated by infection of human macrophages with M. tuberculosis that lead to disease. Increased understanding of how macrophages are susceptible to M. tuberculosis is expected to aid in the development of host-directed therapies for TB.

The nuclear envelope is a lipid bilayer that encases the genome and provides a physical boundary betweenthe cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm. While the nucleus is typically depicted as a sphere encircled by a smoothsurface of nuclear envelope, the smooth exterior can be interrupted by tubular invaginations of the nuclearenvelope into the deep nuclear interior. Such structures are termed the ?nucleoplasmic reticulum.?
