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 ...

Display of Fas Ligand Protein on Cardiac Vasculature as a Novel Means of Regulating Allograft Rejection [PDF]
Background— Fas ligand (FasL) is a potent death-inducing molecule with important functions in immune homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. The complex biological activities of FasL and its inefficient expression using conventional gene transfer approaches limit its use for immunomodulation to ...

Fas/FasL expression in colorectal cancer. An immunohistochemical study.
The objective of the current study was to assess the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) and Fas receptor (FasR) as the proteins of the post-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in colorectal carcinoma and to investigate correlations between their expression and ...

Fas activates lipolysis in a Ca2+-CaMKII-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 adipocytes[S]
Fas (CD95) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily and plays a crucial role in the induction of apoptosis. However, like TNF, Fas can induce nonapoptotic signaling pathways.

Soluble Fas ligand drives autoantibody-induced arthritis by binding to DR5/TRAIL-R2
To date, no study has demonstrated that soluble Fas ligand (sFasL)-mediated inflammation is regulated via interaction with Fas in vivo. We found that FasL interacts specifically with tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF)10B, also known as ...

Fatty Acid Binding to Human Serum Albumin in Blood Serum Characterized by EPR Spectroscopy
One of the functions of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is binding and transport of fatty acids. This ability could be altered by the presence of several blood components such as toxins or peptides – which in turn alters the functionality of the protein.
