Despite extensive research on molecular pathways controlling the process of regeneration in model organisms, little is known about the actual initiation signals necessary to induce regeneration. Recently, the activation of ERK signaling has been shown to

Modulation of neurotrophic signaling pathways by polyphenols [PDF]
Polyphenols are an important class of phytochemicals, and several lines of evidence have demonstrated their beneficial effects in the context of a number of pathologies including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In

Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate Induces MUC16 Expression via PKCδ and p38 in Human Airway Epithelial Cells [PDF]
ObjectivesPhorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is widely used as a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, PKC is involved in the secretion of mucins. MUC16, one of the membrane-bound mucins, is produced in human airway epithelial cells.

Heat Shock Protein 70 Protects the Heart from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury through Inhibition of p38 MAPK Signaling. [PDF]
BackgroundHeat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been shown to exert cardioprotection. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) overload induced by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) activation contributes to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury ...

Prions activate a p38 MAPK synaptotoxic signaling pathway
Synaptic degeneration is one of the earliest pathological correlates of prion disease, and it is a major determinant of the progression of clinical symptoms. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying prion synaptotoxicity are poorly understood.

A Study of the PDGF Signaling Pathway with PRISM [PDF]
In this paper, we apply the probabilistic model checker PRISM to the analysis of a biological system -- the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) signaling pathway, demonstrating in detail how this pathway can be analyzed in PRISM.

The expression of MAPK signaling pathways in conjunctivochalasis
This study investigated the potential role of MAPK signaling pathways in conjunctivochalasis (CCH). Twenty loose conjunctival biopsy samples from 20 CCH and 15 conjunctival biopsy samples from 15 normal controls (CON) were collected. The conjunctival fibroblasts were cultured in vitro.

Molecular crosstalk between p70S6k and MAPK cell signaling pathways [PDF]
We report here for the first time that the specific MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitor, PD-98059, completely knocked out granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-stimulated MAPK activity but also partially inactivated the ribosomal kinase p70S6K.

Injury-induced (Wallerian) axonal degeneration is regulated via the opposing actions of pro-degenerative factors such as SARM1 and a MAPK signal and pro-survival factors, the most important of which is the NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT2 that inhibits ...
