The role of p38 MAPK and its substrates in neuronal plasticity and neurodegenerative disease [PDF]
A significant amount of evidence suggests that the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling cascade plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and in neurodegenerative diseases.

Dynamic activation and regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 [PDF]
Significance The physical basis for the regulation of protein MAP kinases is key to understanding their role in cellular signaling in human biology and disease. However, the biochemical events that lead to MAPK activation are not well understood.

Regulation of the JNK pathway by TGF-beta activated kinase 1 in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes. [PDF]
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) contributes to metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression and joint destruction in inflammatory arthritis. It is phosphorylated by at least two upstream kinases, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK) MKK4 and MKK7,

Protein kinases activated by dual phosphorylation on Tyr and Thr (MAP kinases) can be grouped into two major classes: ERK and JNK. The ERK group regulates multiple targets in response to growth factors via a Ras-dependent mechanism.

p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase
In this issue of the Journal , Bellahcene et al. ([1][1]) report that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced depression of contractile function of the heart is mediated by a specific intracellular signaling pathway, the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.

Differential effects of ERK and p38 signaling in BMP-2 stimulated hypertrophy of cultured chick sternal chondrocytes [PDF]
Background During endochondral bone formation, the hypertrophy of chondrocytes is accompanied by selective expression of several genes including type X collagen and alkaline phosphatase.
