Further study
applying proteomic analysis confirmed that CAFs secrete more proteases, extracellular matrix proteins, and proteins that modify the basement membrane compared with NAFs, pointing to a remodeling role for CAFs in invasion.
Results: Benefiting from the recently sequenced genome of the model sulfate - reducing bacterium (SRB), Desulfovibrio vulgaris, microbiologist Weiwen Zhang and a team of scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are
applying a suite of post-genomics technologies, including microarray,
proteomic, and computational
analyses, to obtain a broader understanding of D. vulgaris» metabolism.
