Role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]
, 2010 The most severe clinical and pathologic manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc) are the result of a fibrotic process characterized by the excessive and often progressive deposition of collagen and other connective tissue macromolecules in skin and ...

Molecular determinants of signal transduction in tropomyosin receptor kinases
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Tropomyosin receptor kinases control critical neuronal functions, but how do the same receptors produce diverse cellular responses? This review explores the structural mechanisms behind Trk signaling diversity, focusing on allosteric modulation and ligand bias.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Immunoassay of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1997 AbstractAccurate measurement of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) is important for precise definition of its physiological roles and potential diagnostic values. Because altered phosphorylation results in altered IGFBP-1 immunoreactivity, current assays may significantly underestimate or fail to detect physiological changes ...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]
, 1995 Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

ATP13A2 is involved in intracellular polyamine transport in lung epithelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Spermidine transport in lung epithelial cells involves the polyamine transporter ATP13A2. Cell proliferation is associated with the upregulation of ATP13A2. Polyamines are present in all living cells and are implicated in various crucial cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.
