South Dakota State University cell biologist Shalini Low-Nam received a National Institutes of Health fellowship to study protein receptors interacting within the membrane of a living cell. Her work focuses on a protein receptor called the macrophage colony stimulating factor or MCSF receptor, which controls the growth and development of the macrophage, a type of white blood cell. This study may give scientists the information they need to combat leukemia and other diseases.
