Functions of p38 MAP Kinases in the Central Nervous System
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are a central component in signaling networks in a multitude of mammalian cell types. This review covers recent advances on specific functions of p38 MAP kinases in cells of the central nervous system.

Blocking elevated p38 MAPK restores efferocytosis and inflammatory resolution in the elderly
Increasing age alters innate immune–mediated responses; however, the mechanisms underpinning these changes in humans are not fully understood. Using a human dermal model of acute inflammation, we found that, although inflammatory onset is similar between

Pramanicin analog induces apoptosis in human colon cancer cells: critical roles for Bcl-2, Bim, and p38 MAPK signaling [PDF]
Pramanicin (PMC) is an antifungal agent that was previously demonstrated to exhibit antiangiogenic and anticancer properties in a few in vitro studies. We initially screened a number of PMC analogs for their cytotoxic effects on HCT116 human colon cancer

Molecular mechanism of inhibition of 8-gingerol on proliferation of breast cancer cells
Objective To investigate the effect of cell cycle on breast cancer cells by 8-gingerol. Methods The cell viability of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 after treated by 8-gingerol at the doses of 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40 μmol/L for 24, 48 or 72 h was ...

The efficiency of endocrine therapy for tumors is limited by the development of hormone resistance and progression of tumor cells to hormone-independent phenotype. Among these tumors – breast cancers, for which hormone therapy is one of the most common and effective methods of treatment, but only in cases, when the tumors retain their hormonal ...

A role for p38 MAPK in the regulation of ciliary motion in a eukaryote [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Motile cilia are essential to the survival and reproduction of many eukaryotes; they are responsible for powering swimming of protists and small multicellular organisms and drive fluids across respiratory and reproductive surfaces in mammals.

LRG-1 promotes pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis via modulation of the EGFR/p38 signaling
Background The abnormal expression of leucine-rich-alpha-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG-1) is reported to be associated with multiple malignancies, but its role in the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains to be determined.

Neuropeptide Y inhibits interleukin-1β-induced phagocytosis by microglial cells
Background Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is emerging as a modulator of communication between the brain and the immune system. However, in spite of increasing evidence that supports a role for NPY in the modulation of microglial cell responses to inflammatory ...

Peroxiredoxin 3 Inhibits Cardiac Fibrosis in Mice via NOX4-P38 Signalling [PDF]
Objective: Peroxiredoxin-3 (Prx-3) is widely acknowledged as an antioxidant that protects against mitochondrialreactive oxygen species. Nonetheless, its role in cardiac fibrosis has not been elucidated. We aim to explore the roleand mechanism of Prx-3 in
