Receptor-Mediated Muscle Homeostasis as a Target for Sarcopenia Therapeutics [PDF]
Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by age-related decline of skeletal muscle mass and function. The molecular mechanisms of the pathophysiology of sarcopenia form a complex network due to the involvement of multiple interconnected signaling pathways ...

Regulating Phase Transition in Neurodegenerative Diseases by Nuclear Import Receptors
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with a low-complexity prion-like domain (PLD) can undergo aberrant phase transitions and have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and FTD.

Narrative-based computational modelling of the Gp130/JAK/STAT signalling pathway. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Appropriately formulated quantitative computational models can support researchers in understanding the dynamic behaviour of biological pathways and support hypothesis formulation and selection by "in silico" experimentation.

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons. [PDF]
Previous studies have revealed a critical role for CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator (CRTC1) in regulating neuronal gene expression during learning and memory. CRTC1 localizes to synapses but undergoes activity-dependent nuclear translocation to

The effects of treatment with melatonin on the ultrastructure of mouse leydig cells: a quantitative study [PDF]
Both the presence of receptors for gonadal steroids in the pineal gland and in vitro observations of direct action of melatonin upon Leydig cells, inhibiting testosterone secretion, indicate a direct connection between pineal gland and gonadal function ...

Structural characterisation of TNRC6A nuclear localisation signal in complex with importin-alpha. [PDF]
The GW182/TNRC6 family of proteins are central scaffolds that link microRNA-associated Argonaute proteins to the cytoplasmic decay machinery for targeted mRNA degradation processes.

Death receptor 5 expression is inversely correlated with prostate cancer progression. [PDF]
Prostate carcinoma (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been widely used to predict the outcome of PCa and screening with PSA has resulted in a decline in mortality. However, PSA is not an optimal prognostic

Cytoplasmic versus nuclear THR alpha expression determines survival of ovarian cancer patients
Purpose Thyroid hormone receptors (THR) have manifold functions and are involved in the carcinogenesis of several tumor types. Within this study, we aimed to investigate the expression pattern (nuclear versus cytoplasmic) of the THR alpha and its impact ...

Steroid receptors are found as a hetero-oligomeric complex in cell extracts. Due to the dynamic interaction between receptor-associated proteins and receptors, it is difficult to study the oligomeric complex in living cells.
