Competition and cooperation among receptor tyrosine phosphatases control motoneuron growth cone guidance in Drosophila [PDF]
The neural receptor tyrosine phosphatases DPTP69D, DPTP99A and DLAR are involved in motor axon guidance in the Drosophila embryo. Here we analyze the requirements for these three phosphatases in growth cone guidance decisions along the ISN and SNb ...

Differential alphav integrin-mediated Ras-ERK signaling during two pathways of angiogenesis. [PDF]
Antagonists of alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 disrupt angiogenesis in response to bFGF and VEGF, respectively. Here, we show that these alphav integrins differentially contribute to sustained Ras-extracellular signal-related kinase (Ras-ERK) signaling in ...

Role of the tyrosine kinase pyk2 in the integrin-dependent activation of human neutrophils by TNF [PDF]
Secretion of inflammatory products from neutrophils can be induced by a combination of signals from ligated integrins and receptors for soluble, physiological agonists such as TNF.

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock [PDF]
Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here

GBM heterogeneity as a function of variable epidermal growth factor receptor variant III activity. [PDF]
Abnormal activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) due to a deletion of exons 2-7 of EGFR (EGFRvIII) is a common alteration in glioblastoma (GBM). While this alteration can drive gliomagenesis, tumors harboring EGFRvIII are heterogeneous.

Loss of synchronized retinal phagocytosis and age-related blindness in mice lacking alphavbeta5 integrin. [PDF]
Daily phagocytosis by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of spent photoreceptor outer segment fragments is critical for vision. In the retina, early morning circadian photoreceptor rod shedding precedes synchronized uptake of shed photoreceptor ...

Targeting Btk/Etk of prostate cancer cells by a novel dual inhibitor. [PDF]
Btk and Etk/BMX are Tec-family non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Btk has previously been reported to be expressed primarily in B cells and has an important role in immune responses and B-cell malignancies.
