Adrenergic regulation of immune cell function and inflammation
The sympathetic nervous system integrates the functions of multiple organ systems by regulating their autonomic physiological activities. The immune system is regulated both locally and systemically by the neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine

Computational modeling of the interplay between cadherin-mediated cell adhesion and Wnt signaling pathway. [PDF]
Wnt signaling and cadherin-mediated adhesion have been implicated in both processes of embryonic development and the progression of carcinomas. Recent experimental studies revealed that Wnt signaling and cadherin-mediated cell adhesion have close ...

An excitable signal integrator couples to an idling cytoskeletal oscillator to drive cell migration [PDF]
It is generally believed that cytoskeletal activities drive random cell migration, whereas signal transduction events initiated by receptors regulate the cytoskeleton to guide cells. However, we find that the cytoskeletal network, involving SCAR/WAVE, Arp 2/3 and actin-binding proteins, is capable of generating only rapid oscillations and undulations ...

Oscillation dynamics underlie functional switching of NF-κB for B-cell activation. [PDF]
Transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) shows cooperative switch-like activation followed by prolonged oscillatory nuclear translocation in response to extracellular stimuli.

Synchronization of oscillatory growth prepares fungal hyphae for fusion
Communication is crucial for organismic interactions, from bacteria, to fungi, to humans. Humans may use the visual sense to monitor the environment before starting acoustic interactions.

Blockage of spontaneous Ca2+ oscillation causes cell death in intraerythrocitic Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
Malaria remains one of the world's most important infectious diseases and is responsible for enormous mortality and morbidity. Resistance to antimalarial drugs is a challenging problem in malaria control.

Photoswitchable diacylglycerols enable optical control of protein kinase C. [PDF]
Increased levels of the second messenger lipid diacylglycerol (DAG) induce downstream signaling events including the translocation of C1-domain-containing proteins toward the plasma membrane. Here, we introduce three light-sensitive DAGs, termed PhoDAGs,

Multiplexing oscillatory biochemical signals [PDF]
In recent years it is increasingly being recognized that biochemical signals are not necessarily constant in time and that the temporal dynamics of a signal can be the information carrier.

Summary: Extracellular agonists linked to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation elicit cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations in many cell types, but despite a common signaling pathway, distinct agonist-specific Ca2+ spike patterns are observed.
