Caveolin-1 Phosphorylation Is Essential for Axonal Growth of Human Neurons Derived From iPSCs. [PDF]
, 2019 Proper axonal growth and guidance is essential for neuron differentiation and development. Abnormal neuronal development due to genetic or epigenetic influences can contribute to neurological and mental disorders such as Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, and

Interactions between Type III receptor tyrosine phosphatases and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases regulate tracheal tube formation in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 The respiratory (tracheal) system of the Drosophila melanogaster larva is an intricate branched network of air-filled tubes. Its developmental logic is similar in some ways to that of the vertebrate vascular system.

The Ubiquitin E3 Ligase TRAF6 Exacerbates Ischemic Stroke by Ubiquitinating and Activating Rac1
Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and excitotoxicity contribute to neuronal death during ischemic stroke; however, the mechanisms underlying these complicated ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

A Daple-Akt feed-forward loop enhances noncanonical Wnt signals by compartmentalizing β-catenin. [PDF]
, 2017 Cellular proliferation is antagonistically regulated by canonical and noncanonical Wnt signals; their dysbalance triggers cancers. We previously showed that a multimodular signal transducer, Daple, enhances PI3-K→Akt signals within the noncanonical Wnt ...

The role of TGF-β and its crosstalk with RAC1/RAC1b signaling in breast and pancreas carcinoma
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2017 This article focusses on the role of TGF-β and its signaling crosstalk with the RHO family GTPases RAC1 and RAC1b in the progression of breast and pancreatic carcinoma. The aggressive nature of these tumor types is mainly due to metastatic dissemination.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT LIN‐24, an aerolysin‐like pore‐forming protein in Caenorhabditis elegans, exemplifies how ancient cytolytic mechanisms have evolved into regulated cellular processes. Initially identified for inducing nonapoptotic, engulfment‐dependent cell death in vulval precursor cells, LIN‐24 has emerged as a multifunctional regulator of metabolism, stress

STEF/TIAM2-mediated Rac1 activity at the nuclear envelope regulates the perinuclear actin cap
Nature Communications, 2018 The perinuclear actin cap is an important cytoskeletal structure that regulates nuclear morphology and re-orientation during front-rear polarisation. The mechanisms regulating the actin cap are currently poorly understood.

Migrasomes, Matrix‐Bound Nanovesicles, and More: Messengers in the Matrix
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and particles (EPs) are diverse micro‐ and nanoparticles that circulate in bodily fluids and can attach to, or be deposited onto, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and other surfaces. To date, the nomenclature and classification of matrix‐bound or matrix‐associated EVs and EPs (MEVPs) have been unclear, largely due to

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock [PDF]
, 2009 Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here
