A Network‐Based Approach to Understanding Key Signaling Pathways in Intervertebral Disc Biology
A literature‐based signaling network capturing the most relevant pathways in human nucleus pulposus cells was first constructed from curated biological evidence. The network was then translated into a system of ordinary differential equations to derive steady‐state solutions and define median baseline activity levels.

Cellular Localization of Gene Expression for Progranulin [PDF]
Granulins, also called epithelins, are 6-kD peptides with growth modulatory effects on a variety of cells. The granulin/epithelin precursor supports tumorigenesis in appropriate cell models and is the only growth factor able to overcome the cell cycle block that occurs in murine fibroblasts after deletion of a functional IGF-1 receptor. However, little

Progranulin and its biological effects in cancer [PDF]
Cancer cells have defects in regulatory mechanisms that usually control cell proliferation and homeostasis. Different cancer cells share crucial alterations in cell physiology, which lead to malignant growth. Tumorigenesis or tumor growth requires a series of events that include constant cell proliferation, promotion of metastasis and invasion ...

Progranulin: An emerging target for FTLD therapies [PDF]
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting the frontal and temporal lobes, is one of the most common types of dementia. While the majority of FTLD cases are sporadic, approximately 10-40% of patients have an inherited form of FTLD.

A novel oncogenic protein in the Progranulin\EphA2 axis: the role of Myoferlin in bladder cancer [PDF]
reservedThe growth factor progranulin plays a key role in bladder cancer by promoting cell motility and invasion. Until recently, the progranulin signaling receptor remained unknown precluding a full comprehension of progranulin action in cancer.
