Functional Analysis of the Pseudoprotease iRhom2 and Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay Factor Smg1 using Gene Deficient Mice

This work involves the characterization of two genes using mouse models of gene deficiency and thus has two focuses: Focus I: Innate immune responses are vital for pathogen defence but can result in septic shock when excessive. A key mediator of septic shock is TNFα, which is shed into intercellula...
