Intracellular mechanisms underlying the nicotinic enhancement of LTP in the rat dentate gyrus [PDF]
We have previously shown that activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) enhanced long-term potentiation (LTP) in the rat dentate gyrus in vitro via activation of α7 nAChR. In the present studies, mechanisms underlying the acute and chronic

Activation of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases from the cytoplasmic compartment [PDF]
It is widely accepted that receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are activated upon dimerization by binding to their extracellular ligands. However, EGF receptor (EGFR) dimerization per se does not require ligand binding. Instead, its cytoplasmic kinase domains have to form characteristic head-to-tail asymmetric dimers to become active, where one ...

Absence of ZAP-70 prevents signaling through the antigen receptor on peripheral blood T cells but not on thymocytes. [PDF]
Recently, a severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome with a deficiency of CD8+ peripheral T cells and a TCR signal transduction defect in peripheral CD4+ T cells was associated with mutations in ZAP-70.

The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Delta Regulates Developmental Neurogenesis
Summary: PTPRD is a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that is genetically associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we asked whether Ptprd mutations cause aberrant neural development by perturbing neurogenesis in the murine cortex.
