back to topOur recent Nature Methods paper describing the development and power of the MaMTH technology:
“This technology gives us a new tool to examine membrane proteins in their natural environment of the human cell,” said Igor Stagljar, a professor in the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research. “As well, it’s sensitive enough to detect minor changes upon introduction of drugs, so it should prove useful in the development of therapeutics, particularly for cancer and neurological diseases.”back to top
Crown, the Croatian World Network, reports on the achievements of the Stagljar Lab with research into the ABC transport system, 2013.
Excerpt:
"ABC transporter proteins act as cellular gatekeepers by retaining nutrients and expelling toxins from the cell. If these proteins are not working properly, it can cause a number of diseases including: cystic fibrosis, age-related macular degeneration, Tangier disease, and Dubin-Johnson syndrome. ABC proteins can also cause cancer cells to reject chemotherapy drugs which makes treatment less effective."

back to topDiscoveries at the Stagljar Lab were reported in the U of T News online magazine, July 2013
From the article:
Professor Igor Stagljar ... and his team have developed the first road map for an important group of proteins known as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins.
"Our discovery shows how ABC transporter proteins affect cancer and other diseases, and this knowledge can help us develop better, more targeted drugs," said Stagljar. "This is truly momentous."
