Changes in membrane lipids drive increased endocytosis following Fas ligation [PDF]
Once activated, some surface receptors promote membrane movements that open new portals of endocytosis, in part to facilitate the internalization of their activated complexes.

We discovered a nuclear receptor element in the FAS promoter consisting of an inverted repeat spaced by one nucleotide (IR-1) and located 21 bases downstream of a direct repeat sequenced by 4 nucleotides (DR-4) oxysterol liver X receptor response element.

Kinase-independent function of RIP1, critical for mature T-cell survival and proliferation. [PDF]
The death receptor, Fas, triggers apoptotic death and is essential for maintaining homeostasis in the peripheral lymphoid organs. RIP1 was originally cloned when searching for Fas-binding proteins and was later shown to associate also with the signaling ...

Fas (CD95) induces rapid, TLR4/IRAK4-dependent release of pro-inflammatory HMGB1 from macrophages
Although Fas (CD95) is recognized as a death receptor that induces apoptosis, recent studies indicate that the Fas/FasL system can induce pro-inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages independent of conventional caspase-mediated apoptotic signaling.

Nuclear pore complex-mediated modulation of TCR signaling is required for naïve CD4+ T cell homeostasis. [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels connecting the nucleus with the cytoplasm. We report that loss of the tissue-specific NPC component Nup210 causes a severe deficit of naïve CD4+ T cells.

Expression of TRAIL and Fas in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Aim: Differentiating between parathyroid lesions is still difficult and ambiguous. In cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, appropriate and prompt diagnosis is of great importance for effective treatment and follow-up.

Molecular manipulation of keratin 8/18 intermediate filaments: modulators of FAS-mediated death signaling in human ovarian granulosa tumor cells [PDF]
Background: Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) are a rare ovarian neoplasm but prognosis is poor following recurrence. Keratin intermediate filaments expressed in these tumors are a diagnostic marker, yet paradoxically, may also constitute a target for ...

α-mangostin is a xanthone compound isolated from mangosteen pericarp. It is known as an anticancer through induction of apoptotic process by inhibiting fatty acid synthase (FAS) receptor. α-mangostin is a potentially useful ligand for diagnostic purposes

Neonatal mice lacking functional Fas death receptors are resistant to hypoxic–ischemic brain injury
Neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI) upregulates Fas death receptor expression in the brain, and alterations in expression and activity of Fas signaling intermediates occur in neonatal brain injury. B6.MRL-Tnfrsf6lpr mice lacking functional Fas death receptors

The role of MMP7 and its cross-talk with the FAS/FASL system during the acquisition of chemoresistance to oxaliplatin. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of oxaliplatin in cancer chemotherapy is limited by the development of drug resistance. MMP7 has been related to the loss of tumor cell response to cytotoxic agents although the exact mechanism is not fully understood.
