CDC42 regulates PYRIN inflammasome assembly [PDF]
The PYRIN inflammasome pathway is part of the innate immune response against invading pathogens. Unprovoked continuous activation of the PYRIN inflammasome drives autoinflammation and underlies several autoinflammatory diseases, including familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) syndrome.

Regulation of neurogenesis by Fgf8a requires Cdc42 signaling and a novel Cdc42 effector protein
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling is required for numerous aspects of neural development, including neural induction, CNS patterning and neurogenesis. The ability of FGFs to activate Ras/MAPK signaling is thought to be critical for these functions.

Complex polarity: building multicellular tissues through apical membrane traffic [PDF]
The formation of distinct subdomains of the cell surface is crucial for multicellular organism development. The most striking example of this is apical-basal polarization.

Essential role of Cdc42 in Ras-induced transformation revealed by gene targeting. [PDF]
The ras proto-oncogene is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancer. However, given the prevalence of activating mutations in Ras and its association with aggressive forms of cancer, attempts to therapeutically target aberrant Ras ...

Spots, strips, and spiral waves in models for static and motile cells [PDF]
The polarization and motility of eukaryotic cells depends on assembly and contraction of the actin cytoskeleton and its regulation by proteins called GTPases. The activity of GTPases causes assembly of filamentous actin (by GTPases Cdc42, Rac), resulting in protrusion of the cell edge.

Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in survival and metastasis: Stat3 versus Akt
Both cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion are important for epithelial cell differentiation and function. Classical cadherins mediate cell to cell interactions and are potent activators of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat3 ...

Rho GTPases and their downstream effectors in megakaryocyte biology
Megakaryocytes differentiate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. The transition of megakaryocytes to platelets is a complex process. Thereby, megakaryocytes extend proplatelets into sinusoidal blood vessels, where the proplatelets undergo ...
