Investigation into the role of annexin 1 in the microcirculation of annexin 1 knockout mice [PDF]
PhDGlucocorticoids are used therapeutically for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. One of the ways they produce their potent effects is via regulation of the anti-inflammatory protein Annexin I (ANX-AI; 37 kDa protein).

Src Family Tyrosine Kinase Signaling in Mouse and Human Embryonic Stem Cells [PDF]
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst stage embryo and are characterized by self-renewal and pluripotency. Previous work has implicated the Src family of protein-tyrosine kinases (SFKs) in the self-renewal and ...

Cell-cell signaling during Dictyostelium development
Specific proteins and peptides, as well as cAMP, are used as intercellular signals in Dictyostelium. Our understanding of the signal transduction pathways activated by these signals has been expanded by inclusion of newly characterized proteins.
