Extra-nuclear and cytoplasmic steroid receptor signalling in hormone dependent cancers
Steroid hormone receptors are key mediators in the execution of hormone action through a combination of genomic and non-genomic action. Since their isolation and characterisation in the early 20th Century much of our understanding of the biological actions of steroid hormones are underpinned by their activated receptor activity.

An update on nuclear calcium signalling [PDF]
Over the past 15 years or so, numerous studies have sought to characterise how nuclear calcium (Ca2+) signals are generated and reversed, and to understand how events that occur in the nucleoplasm influence cellular Ca2+ activity, and vice versa. In this

Principles Of Differentiation And Morphogenesis [PDF]
Developmental biology is the science connecting genetics with anatomy, making sense out of both. The body builds itself from the instructions of the inherited DNA and the cytoplasmic system that interprets the DNA into genes and creates intracellular and

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Sigma1 Targeting to Suppress Aberrant Androgen Receptor Signaling in Prostate Cancer. [PDF]
Suppression of androgen receptor (AR) activity in prostate cancer by androgen depletion or direct AR antagonist treatment, although initially effective, leads to incurable castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) via compensatory mechanisms including ...

Nuclear and cytoplasmic lectin receptor sites in rat Pyla osteoblasts
The intracellular distribution of lectin receptor sites was studied in the rat Pyla osteoblasts using immunofluorescence at the confocal microscopy level. This immortalized cell line was found to represent a satisfactory model to study the occurrence and distribution of sugar moieties.

A novel family of nuclear transport receptors mediates the export of messenger RNA to the cytoplasm
Fully processed mRNAs are exported to the cytoplasm where they direct protein synthesis. A general feature of mRNA export is that it is an active, receptor-mediated process. The mRNA export receptors are thought to recognize and bind to the mRNA-export cargoes either directly or indirectly (via adaptor proteins) and facilitate their translocation ...

Affinity modulation of platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 by beta3-endonexin, a selective binding partner of the beta3 integrin cytoplasmic tail. [PDF]
Platelet agonists increase the affinity state of integrin alphaIIbbeta3, a prerequisite for fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation. This process may be triggered by a regulatory molecule(s) that binds to the integrin cytoplasmic tails, causing a ...
