Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped because of side effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biologic effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited. Therefore, we explored the effects

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

IgG Glycosylation‐Dependent CLEC7A Signaling Drives Podocyte Dysfunction in Lupus Nephritis
Objective Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end‐stage kidney disease and increased mortality. IgG from patients with LN displays abnormal glycosylation, contributing to podocyte injury.

A major process through which environmental information is transmitted into cells is via activation of protein tyrosine kinases. Receptor tyrosine kinases contain extracellular ligand recognition, single membrane spanning, and cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase domains. The cytoplasmic kinase core is flanked by regulatory segments,

Receptor tyrosine kinases and their targets
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1994One of the ways in which higher eukaryotes receive messages from the environment is via cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases. These are transmembrane proteins with an extracellular binding domain that specifies the growth factor with which it will interact, and an intracellular domain that encodes the tyrosine kinase.

Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2023Targeted therapy is a new cancer treatment approach, involving drugs that particularly target specific proteins in cancer cells, such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) which are involved in promoting growth and proliferation, Therefore inhibiting these proteins could impede cancer progression.

Receptor tyrosine kinases and the regulation of hematopoiesis
Seminars in Immunology, 1995The ongoing production of mature blood cells during the lifetime of an animal is vital for survival. Hematopoiesis is the complex process whereby a small population of pluripotential stem cells give rise to mature cell types with specialized functions.

Tyrosine kinase receptor expression in thymomas
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2004Promising new therapies for neoplasia include tyrosine kinase receptor antagonists. Tyrosine kinase oncogenes present an appealing anti-tumor drug target since they play an integral role in a variety of cellular responses including cell proliferation and differentiation.
