FAS-dependent cell death in α-synuclein transgenic oligodendrocyte models of multiple system atrophy. [PDF]
Multiple system atrophy is a parkinsonian neurodegenerative disorder. It is cytopathologically characterized by accumulation of the protein p25α in cell bodies of oligodendrocytes followed by accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein in so-called glial ...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions [PDF]
Complex networks of protein-ligand interactions underpin cellular function and communication. Disease can arise from disruption of these networks through the alteration of protein-ligand interaction affinities, for example by protein mutation or ligand ...

Ac-SDKP modulates apoptosis via HSP27 and the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial axes. [PDF]
Schematic diagram of Ac‐SDKP regulating the FAS/FASL and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways via HSP27. Ac‐SDKP inhibits HSP27 expression, activates the FAS/FASL pathway and Caspase‐3 signaling, increases Caspase‐8 and Caspase‐3 expression, and induces cell apoptosis.

Computational Analyses of Protein-Ligand Interactions [PDF]
Protein-ligand interactions have a central role in all processes in living systems. A comprehensive understanding of protein interactions with small molecules is of great interest as it provides opportunities for understanding protein function and ...

The Critical Role of Protein Kinase C-θ in Fas/Fas Ligand-Mediated Apoptosis [PDF]
Abstract A functional immune system not only requires rapid expansion of antigenic specific T cells, but also requires efficient deletion of clonally expanded T cells to avoid accumulation of T cells. Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)-mediated apoptosis plays a critical role in the deletion of activated peripheral T cells, which is clearly ...

Ethanol-mediated alterations in oligodendrocyte differentiation in the developing brain
Introduction: Alterations of white matter integrity and subsequent white matter structural deficits are consistent findings in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), but knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying these abnormalities is incomplete ...

The role of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT1) and FAS associated proteins in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). [PDF]
PhDCurrent thinking suggests that preeclampsia is associated with activation of the maternal vascular endothelium in response to factors released from the placenta due to placental hypoxia.

Soluble Fas and Soluble Fas Ligand Proteins in Human Milk: Possible Significance in the Development of Immunological Tolerance [PDF]
Human milk contains a complex uncharacterized, immune system able to exert actions both locally and systemically. This study reports the results of an ELISA‐based quantitation of soluble Fas and soluble Fas ligand in human milk which may modulate the Fas/FasL system that is critical for the expression of immune tolerance and apoptosis.

p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Is Involved in Fas Ligand Expression [PDF]
p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is activated by T cell receptor engagement. Here we showed that T cell receptor activated p38alpha but not p38delta. Inhibition of p38alpha by the specific inhibitor SB 203580 prevented activation-induced cell death in T cells. SB 203580 had no effect on Fas-initiated apoptosis.
