Identification of polo‐like kinase 1 as a therapeutic target in murine lupus
Introduction The signalling cascades that contribute to lupus pathogenesis are incompletely understood. We address this by using an unbiased activity‐based kinome screen of murine lupus.

Reduced BMP receptor II signalling underlies pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Here, Hurstet al. show that TNFα subverts BMP signalling by increasing BMP6 expression and signalling via an alternative BMP receptor, ALK2, in pulmonary artery smooth ...

Counter-modulation of fatty acid-induced pro-inflammatory nuclear factor kappa B signalling in rat skeletal muscle cells by AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
Sustained over-supply of saturated non-esterified 'free' fatty acids has been shown to promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance, which may be driven, in part, by an increase in inflammatory signalling within this tissue.

Norepinephrine induces slow calcium signalling in murine brown preadipocytes through the beta-adrenoceptor/cAMP/protein kinase A pathway [PDF]
The mechanism of adrenergically activated calcium signalling in isolated murine brown preadipocytes (stromal-vascular fraction) was studied with Fura-2.

The catalytic subunit of the system L1 amino acid transporter (Slc7a5) facilitates nutrient signalling in mouse skeletal muscle [PDF]
The System L1-type amino acid transporter mediates transport of large neutral amino acids (LNAA) in many mammalian cell-types. LNAA such as leucine are required for full activation of the mTOR-S6K signalling pathway promoting protein synthesis and cell ...

Lowered insulin signalling ameliorates age-related sleep fragmentation in Drosophila.
Sleep fragmentation, particularly reduced and interrupted night sleep, impairs the quality of life of older people. Strikingly similar declines in sleep quality are seen during ageing in laboratory animals, including the fruit fly Drosophila.

Presynaptic spinophilin tunes neurexin signalling to control active zone architecture and function [PDF]
Assembly and maturation of synapses at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) depend on trans-synaptic neurexin/neuroligin signalling, which is promoted by the scaffolding protein Syd-1 binding to neurexin.

Signalling through the IGF1R [type 1 IGF (insulin-like growth factor) receptor] and canonical Wnt signalling are two signalling pathways that play critical roles in regulating neural cell generation and growth. To determine whether the signalling through

Electrical stimulated GLUT4 signalling attenuates critical illness‐associated muscle wasting
Background Critical illness myopathy (CIM) is a debilitating condition characterized by the preferential loss of the motor protein myosin. CIM is a by‐product of critical care, attributed to impaired recovery, long‐term complications, and mortality.
