Second messenger systems in Tourette's syndrome
Abnormalities within second messenger systems have been hypothesized as the underlying pathophysiologic mechanism in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. In the Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (TS) prior studies have shown that the concentration of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) is reduced in cortical and putamen brain regions.

Second Messenger Systems in Human Gliomas
AbstractContext.—Patients with glioblastoma (astrocytoma, World Health Organization grade IV) exhibit 2-year survival rates of less than 20% despite significant advances in therapeutic options available to patients. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) hyperexpression is one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities in this tumor. However, EGFR

The cyclic di-GMP receptor YcgR links the second messenger with the putrescine quorum sensing system in modulation of Dickeya oryzae motility [PDF]
Dickeya oryzae is a prevalent pathogen capable of infecting a variety of crops and plants, and its cell motility plays a key role in invasion of host and subsequent systemic infection. We recently demonstrated that the bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP
