OverviewAI-generated summary
Jacob Laster's research focuses on the regulation of bone mass and strength, specifically investigating the role of the autophagy regulator Tfeb. His work has demonstrated that increasing Tfeb expression in osteoblast lineage cells can lead to enhanced bone density and structural integrity. Laster has explored this using CRISPR activation techniques to manipulate Tfeb levels in animal models. His collaborations at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include work with Melda Onal, Amy Y. Sato, A. Gordon James, and Maria Almeida, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Laster's scholarship is marked by a growing body of work in bone biology and cellular regulation.
