Nuclear pore complex-mediated modulation of TCR signaling is required for naïve CD4+ T cell homeostasis. [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels connecting the nucleus with the cytoplasm. We report that loss of the tissue-specific NPC component Nup210 causes a severe deficit of naïve CD4+ T cells.

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]
Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.

Caveolin-3 in muscular dystrophy [PDF]
The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) serves as a link between cytoplasmic actin, the membrane and the extracellular matrix of striated muscle. Genetic defects in genes encoding a subset of DGC proteins result in muscular dystrophy and a secondary decrease in other DGC proteins.

Disparate Entry of Adenoviruses Dictates Differential Innate Immune Responses on the Ocular Surface
Human adenovirus infection of the ocular surface is associated with severe keratoconjunctivitis and the formation of subepithelial corneal infiltrates, which may persist and impair vision for months to years following infection.

ROCK signaling promotes collagen remodeling to facilitate invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumor cell growth [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a major cause of cancer death; identifying PDAC enablers may reveal potential therapeutic targets. Expression of the actomyosin regulatory ROCK1 and ROCK2 kinases increased with tumor progression in human and ...

Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel kinase new player in angiotensin II–induced hypertension [PDF]
Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a bifunctional protein comprising a magnesium (Mg2+)/cation channel and a kinase domain. We previously demonstrated that vasoactive agents regulate vascular TRPM7.
