Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]
EMBO J 22, 18 (15/09/2003) 4656-65, 2007 Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]
, 2009 The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Structure and antagonism of the receptor complex mediated by human TSLP in allergy and asthma [PDF]
, 2017 The pro-inflammatory cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is pivotal to the pathophysiology of widespread allergic diseases mediated by type 2 helper T cell (Th2) responses, including asthma and atopic dermatitis. The emergence of human TSLP as a

Development and function of invariant natural killer T cells producing T(h)2- and T(h)17-cytokines. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2012 There is heterogeneity in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells based on the expression of CD4 and the IL-17 receptor B (IL-17RB), a receptor for IL-25 which is a key factor in T(H)2 immunity.

Leukotrienes provide an NFAT-dependent signal that synergizes with IL-33 to activate ILC2s. [PDF]
, 2016 Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and type 2 helper T cells (Th2 cells) are the primary source of interleukin 5 (IL-5) and IL-13 during type 2 (allergic) inflammation in the lung.

Deprenyl, an old drug with new anticancer potential: Mini review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The anticancer potential of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was observed in pre-clinical assays conducted with cell cultures and animals. L-Deprenyl (DEP) causes apoptosis in melanoma, leukemia and mammary cells. High-dose DEP has shown toxicity in mammary and pituitary cancers, as well as in monoblastic leukemia, in rats.

Interleukin-2 druggability is modulated by global conformational transitions controlled by a helical capping switch. [PDF]
, 2020 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a small α-helical cytokine that regulates immune cell homeostasis through its recruitment to a high-affinity heterotrimeric receptor complex (IL-2Rα/IL-2Rβ/γc).

Cloning of a type I cytokine receptor most related to the IL-2 receptor beta chain.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000 We have identified a type I cytokine receptor, which we have termed novel interleukin receptor (NILR), that is most related to the IL-2 receptor beta chain (IL-2Rbeta) and physically adjacent to the IL-4 receptor alpha chain gene on chromosome 16.

Large number of receptors may reduce cellular response time variation [PDF]
Physical biology 10 (3), 035008, 2013, 2012 Cells often have tens of thousands of receptors, even though only a few activated receptors can trigger full cellular responses. Reasons for the overabundance of receptors remain unclear. We suggest that, in certain conditions, the large number of receptors results in a competition among receptors to be the first to activate the cell.
