Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

N-glycosylation pattern of human placental insulin-like growth factor and insulin receptors in well-controlled pregestational diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2012 Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease that leads to alterations in the glycosylation of proteins. Insulin-like growth factor and insulin receptors are involved in the regulation of fetal and placental growth and development.

Anti-fibrotic efficacy of nintedanib in pulmonary fibrosis via the inhibition of fibrocyte activity
Respiratory Research, 2017 Background Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is specific for platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), has recently been approved for ...

Ligand-induced Coupling versus Receptor Pre-association: Cellular automaton simulations of FGF-2 binding [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 227(2) 239-251 (2004), 2003 The binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) to its cell surface receptor (CSR) and subsequent signal transduction is known to be enhanced by Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPGs). HSPGs bind FGF-2 with low affinity and likely impact CSR-mediated signaling via stabilization of FGF-2-CSR complexes via association with both the ligand and the ...

Expression of Growth Factors and Growth Factor Receptors in Capillary Hemangioblastoma [PDF]
Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1996 To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the regulation of growth and differentiation of capillary hemangioblastoma we studied the expression of selected growth factors and growth factor receptors by immunocytochemistry. As stromal cells of capillary hemangioblastoma express high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth ...

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

VEGFR1-tyrosine kinase signaling in pulmonary fibrosis
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2021 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is not only an important factor for angiogenesis but also lung development and homeostasis. VEGF-A binds three tyrosine kinase (TK) receptors VEGFR1–3.

The Effects of EGF-Receptor Density on Multiscale Tumor Growth Patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We studied the effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) density on tumor growth dynamics, both on the sub- and the multi-cellular level using our previously developed model. This algorithm simulates the growth of a brain tumor using a multi-scale two-dimensional agent-based approach with an integrated transforming growth factor alpha ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
