  My doctoral dissertation addresses the importance of HRas c-terminus modification on its intracellular trafficking. Ultimately

  findings from these studies may provide a new direction toward developing more effective cancer therapies.

  H-Ras intracellular trafficking and signal transduction

  Jan Buss

  Hui Zheng

  This study shows that H-Ras has two simultaneous but distinct means of transport and need not depend on vesicular trafficking for its delivery to the plasma membrane.

  This study shows that unidentified compounds from Echinacea purpurea induce cytosolic Ca2+ elevation in non-immune-related cells

  which lack CB2 receptors and that the Ca2+ elevation is not influenced by alkamides.\n
