PACAP induces FSHβ gene expression via EPAC. [PDF]
Gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), are heterodimers of a common α subunit and unique β subunits. Regulation of their levels, primarily by GnRH, is critical for reproductive function.

Mutation in CDC42 Gene Set as a Response Biomarker for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have achieved great success; however, a subset of patients exhibits no response. Consequently, there is a critical need for reliable predictive biomarkers.

Dbl3 drives Cdc42 signaling at the apical margin to regulate junction position and apical differentiation [PDF]
Epithelial cells develop morphologically characteristic apical domains that are bordered by tight junctions, the apical–lateral border. Cdc42 and its effector complex Par6–atypical protein kinase c (aPKC) regulate multiple steps during epithelial ...

Dynamic cofilin phosphorylation in the control of lamellipodial actin homeostasis [PDF]
During animal cell chemotaxis, signalling at the plasma membrane induces actin polymerisation to drive forward cell movement. Since the cellular pool of actin is limited, efficient protrusion formation also requires the coordinated disassembly of pre ...

Paradoxical signaling regulates structural plasticity in dendritic spines
Transient spine enlargement (3-5 min timescale) is an important event associated with the structural plasticity of dendritic spines. Many of the molecular mechanisms associated with transient spine enlargement have been identified experimentally.
