Evading innate immunity in nonviral mRNA delivery : don't shoot the messenger [PDF]
In de field of non-viral gene therapy, in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA has emerged as a promising tool for the delivery of genetic information. Over the past few years it has become widely known the introduction of IVT mRNA into mammalian cells elicits ...

Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Estradiol Receptor in the Corpus Luteum of the Pseudopregnant Rabbit
SummaryEstradiol binding activity has been measured in the rabbit corpus luteum on Days 2, 4, and 6 of pseudopregnancy. The results show that receptor activity is significantly greater on Day 4 than on Day 2 with continued increases on Day 6. In addition, the estradiol receptor activity is translocated into the nucleus within 30 min of injection of 100

Mutational and secondary structural analysis of the basolateral sorting signal of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. [PDF]
The 17-juxtamembrane cytoplasmic residues of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor contain an autonomous basolateral targeting signal that does not mediate rapid endocytosis (Casanova, J. E., G. Apodaca, and K. E. Mostov. Cell. 66:65-75).

Anti-inflammatory activity of Wnt signaling in enteric nervous system: in vitro preliminary evidences in rat primary cultures [PDF]
Background: In the last years, Wnt signaling was demonstrated to regulate inflammatory processes. In particular, an increased expression of Wnts and Frizzled receptors was reported in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis to exert both ...

Hsp90-binding immunophilins link p53 to dynein during p53 transport to the nucleus [PDF]
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is known to be transported to the nucleus along microtubular tracks by cytoplasmic dynein. However, the connection between p53 and the dynein motor protein complex has not been established.

Identification of the zinc finger 216 (ZNF216) in human carcinoma cells. A potential regulator of EGFR activity [PDF]
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), a member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) proteins, is aberrantly expressed or deregulated in tumors and plays pivotal roles in cancer onset and metastatic progression.

LRR-containing receptors regulating plant development and defense [PDF]
Despite the presence of more than 400 genes that encode receptor-like kinases (RLKs) in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, very little is known about the range of biological processes that they control, or the mechanisms by which they function. This review

Endothelin-Induced Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Depletion Waves in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Agonist-stimulated waves of elevated cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i ) regulate blood vessel tone and vasomotion in vascular smooth muscle. Previous studies employing cytoplasmic Ca2+ indicators revealed that these Ca2+ waves were generated by a ...

HTR4 gene structure and altered expression in the developing lung [PDF]
Background: Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 (5-HT4R) gene (HTR4) associated with lung function.
