Death receptor 3 signaling enhances proliferation of human regulatory T cells [PDF]
Exploiting regulatory T cells (Tregs) to control aberrant immune reactions is a promising therapeutic approach, but is hampered by their relative paucity. In mice, activation of death receptor 3 (DR3), a member of the TNF‐receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), increases Treg frequency and efficiently controls exuberant immune activation.

Activation of TNFR1 by TNFα induces the formation of a membrane-associated, intracellular complex termed complex I. Complex I orchestrates a complex pattern of modifications on key regulators of TNF signaling that collectively determines the cell fate by

Molecular Events Involved in Influenza A Virus-Induced Cell Death
Viral infection usually leads to cell death. Moderate cell death is a protective innate immune response. By contrast, excessive, uncontrolled cell death causes tissue destruction, cytokine storm, or even host death.

Analysis of the N-terminal region of human MLKL, as well as two distinct MLKL isoforms, reveals new insights into necroptotic cell death [PDF]
© 2016 Authors. The pseudokinase mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) is an essential effector of necroptotic cell death. Two distinct human MLKL isoforms have previously been reported, but their capacities to trigger cell death have not been compared

Cutting Edge: Regulatory T Cells Do Not Mediate Suppression via Programmed Cell Death Pathways [PDF]
Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in the immune system to regulate peripheral tolerance and prevent autoimmunity. However, the relative importance of different mechanisms of Treg function remains obscure. In this article, we reveal a limited role for programmed cell death pathways in mediating Treg suppression of ...

Diversification of a protein kinase cascade: IME-2 is involved in nonself recognition and programmed cell death in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Kinase cascades and the modification of proteins by phosphorylation are major mechanisms for cell signaling and communication, and evolution of these signaling pathways can contribute to new developmental or environmental response pathways.

Smad7:β-catenin Complex Regulates Myogenic Gene Transcription [PDF]
Recent reports indicate that Smad7 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation and growth. We previously documented a non-canonical role of nuclear Smad7 during myogenesis, independent of its role in TGF-β signaling.
