The Role of ErbB Receptors in Infection. [PDF]
Members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB family) possess a wide distribution and diverse functions ranging from cellular growth to migration and apoptosis. Though highly implicated in a variety of cancers, their involvement in infectious disease is less recognised. A growing body of evidence now highlights the importance of the ErbB

Expression and function of ErbB receptors and ligands in the pituitary. [PDF]
The role of ErbB family in discreet pituitary functions is reviewed. Several ErbB receptor ligands, EGF, TGFα, and heregulin are differentially expressed in normal gonadotroph and lacto-somatotroph lineages, and other elements of the anterior pituitary ...

Promoter-level expression clustering identifies time development of transcriptional regulatory cascades initiated by ErbB receptors in breast cancer cells. [PDF]
The analysis of CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) time-course has been proposed by the FANTOM5 Consortium to extend the understanding of the sequence of events facilitating cell state transition at the level of promoter regulation.

The Single Transmembrane Domains of ErbB Receptors Self-associate in Cell Membranes [PDF]
Members of the epidermal growth factor receptor, or ErbB, family of receptor tyrosine kinases have a single transmembrane (TM) α-helix that is usually assumed to play a passive role in ligand-induced dimerization and activation of the receptor.

Chronic morphine treatment attenuates cell growth of human BT474 breast cancer cells by rearrangement of the ErbB signalling network. [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that opioid analgesics may interfere with tumour growth. It is currently thought that these effects are mediated by transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-controlled ERK1/2 and Akt signalling.

Vertebrate Lrig3-ErbB interactions occur in vitro but are unlikely to play a role in Lrig3-dependent inner ear morphogenesis. [PDF]
The Lrig genes encode a family of transmembrane proteins that have been implicated in tumorigenesis, psoriasis, neural crest development, and complex tissue morphogenesis. Whether these diverse phenotypes reflect a single underlying cellular mechanism is

Combinatorial targeting of FGF and ErbB receptors blocks growth and metastatic spread of breast cancer models. [PDF]
IntroductionTargeting receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) with kinase inhibitors is a clinically validated anti-cancer approach. However, blocking one signaling pathway is often not sufficient to cause tumor regression and the effectiveness of individual ...

Target-based agents against ErbB receptors and their ligands: a novel approach to cancer treatment. [PDF]
The ErbB receptors and their cognate ligands that belong to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of peptides are involved in the pathogenesis of different types of carcinomas. In fact, the ErbB receptors and the EGF-like growth factors are frequently
