c-Src inhibition improves cardiovascular function but not remodeling or fibrosis in Ang II-induced hypertension [PDF]
c-Src plays an important role in angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling. Whether this member of the Src family kinases is involved in the development of Ang II–induced hypertension and associated cardiovascular damage in vivo remains unknown. Here, we studied

HBV DNA integrates in multiple genes including KMT2B in pancreatic cancer. KMT2B upregulation caused by HBV integration or other mechanisms promotes FYN expression via histone H3K4 trimethylation at its promoter region. Increased FYN expression activates the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway, thus driving PDAC cell proliferation, migration and invasion ...

The tyrosine kinase FER is responsible for the capacitation-associated increase in tyrosine phosphorylation in murine sperm [PDF]
Sperm capacitation is required for fertilization. At the molecular level, this process is associated with fast activation of protein kinase A. Downstream of this event, capacitating conditions lead to an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation. The identity
