EPAC2: A new and promising protein for glioma pathogenesis and therapy
Oncology Reviews, 2020 Gliomas are prime brain cancers which are initiated by malignant modification of neural stem cells, progenitor cells and differentiated glial cells such as astrocyte, oligodendrocyte as well as ependymal cells.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Post-Translational Modification and Subcellular Distribution of Rac1: An Update
Cells, 2018 Rac1 is a small GTPase that belongs to the Rho family. The Rho family of small GTPases is a subfamily of the Ras superfamily. The Rho family of GTPases mediate a plethora of cellular effects, including regulation of cytoarchitecture, cell size, cell ...

Guanine nucleotide exchange factors activate Rab8a for Toll-like receptor signalling
, 2019 Macrophages are important immune sentinels that detect and clear pathogens and initiate inflammatory responses through the activation of surface receptors, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs).

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Computer vision profiling of neurite outgrowth mordphodynamics reveals spatio-temporal modularity of Rho GTPase signaling [PDF]
, 2014 Neurite outgrowth is essential to build the neuronal processes that produce axons and dendrites that connect the adult brain. In cultured cells, the neurite outgrowth process is highly dynamic, and consists of a series of repetitive morphogenetic sub ...

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to

Analysis of Rho GTPase signalling pathways regulating epithelial morphogenesis
, 2010 Rho GTPases are molecular switches controlling many aspects of cell behaviour, including cell cycle progression, cell division, migration and morphology. The activity of Rho proteins is regulated by conformational changes induced by binding of guanine

Mechanism of Nucleotide Exchange by Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors on the Ras Superfamily of Small G-Proteins [PDF]
, 2000 The Ras superfamily of small G-proteins cycle between an active GTP bound form and an inactive GDP bound form. This cycle is controlled by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). Sos, a GEF for Ras proteins, is a
