Cell signaling promoting protein carbonylation does not cause sulfhydryl oxidation: implications to the mechanism of redox signaling [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been recognized as second messengers, however, targeting mechanisms for ROS in cell signaling have not been defined.

BAFF activation of the ERK5 MAP kinase pathway regulates B cell survival [PDF]
B cell activating factor (BAFF) stimulation of the BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) is essential for the homeostatic survival of mature B cells. Earlier in vitro experiments with inhibitors that block MEK 1 and 2 suggested that activation of ERK 1 and 2 MAP ...

Postsynaptic Ca2+, but not cumulative depolarization, is necessary for the induction of associative plasticity in Hermissenda [PDF]
The neuronal modifications that underlie associative memory in Hermissenda have their origins in a synaptic interaction between the visual and vestibular systems, and can be mimicked by contiguous in vitro stimulation of these converging pathways. At the

CCCTC-binding factor locks premature IgH germline transcription and restrains class switch recombination [PDF]
In response to antigenic stimulation B cells undergo class switch recombination (CSR) at the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) to replace the primary IgM/IgD isotypes by IgG, IgE, or IgA.

Stimulation of incretin secreting cells [PDF]
The incretin hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are secreted from enteroendocrine cells in the gut and regulate physiological and homeostatic functions related to glucose control, metabolism and food intake.

Skeletal muscle cells opto-stimulation by intramembrane molecular transducers
Optical stimulation and control of muscle cell contraction opens up a number of interesting applications in hybrid robotic and medicine. Here we show that recently designed molecular phototransducer can be used to stimulate C2C12 skeletal muscle cells ...

Quantification of IFNγ- and IL17-producing cells after stimulation with citrullinated proteins in healthy subjects and RA patients [PDF]
Antibodies against citrullinated proteins are highly specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are currently used as a diagnostic marker. In this study, we wanted to quantify the numbers of T cells that react to a wide range of citrullinated proteins in

PD-1 Primarily Targets TCR Signal in the Inhibition of Functional T Cell Activation
Cancer-immunotherapy targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) activates tumor-specific T cells and provides clinical benefits in various cancers. However, the molecular basis of PD-1 function is still enigmatic.
