Abstract figure legend The β1‐adrenergic receptor is the predominant adrenergic subtype expressed on cardiac myocytes. Upon stimulation it activates downstream signalling pathways that increase the heart rate and cardiac output to meet metabolic demands.

MICAL redox enzymes and actin remodeling: New links to classical tumorigenic and cancer pathways
MICAL Redox enzymes have recently emerged as direct regulators of cell shape and motility – working through specific reversible post-translational oxidation of actin to disassemble and remodel the cytoskeleton.

Semaphorin 3C and Its Receptors in Cancer and Cancer Stem-Like Cells
Neurodevelopmental programs are frequently dysregulated in cancer. Semaphorins are a large family of guidance cues that direct neuronal network formation and are also implicated in cancer. Semaphorins have two kinds of receptors, neuropilins and plexins.

Sema3E‐plexinD1 Axis Is a Modulator of Foxp3+ Regulatory T‐Cells in House Dust Mite Model of Asthma
Airway epithelial‐derived Sema3E enhances both the number and proliferation of Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in an acute model of asthma. Mechanistically, deletion of PlexinD1, the receptor for Sema3E, specifically in Foxp3+ cells was associated with a breakdown in immune regulation in this model.

The semaphorins and the plexins are a family of large, cysteine-rich proteins originally identified as regulators of axon growth and lymphocyte activation that are now known to provide motility and positional information for a number of cell and tissue ...

Active immunization with recombinant THSD7A in mice induces autoreactive B cell activation and differentiation into CD138+ antibody‐secreting cells, leading to the production of anti‐THSD7A autoantibodies, glomerular immune injury and proteinuria, characteristic of membranous nephropathy. NDP‐MSH treatment modulates the MITF/IRF4 axis in primed B cells,

Role of Semaphorins in Angiogenesis and Innervation in Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Introduction Although the intervertebral disc (IVD) is considered the largest aneural structure within the human body, during degeneration nociceptive nerves are seen to accompany blood vessels into the IVD yet it remains unclear how this process occurs.

The association of semaphorins 3C, 5A and 6D with liver fibrosis stage in chronic hepatitis C.
Semaphorins are a diverse family of immunoregulators recently recognized to play a major role in various phases of immune responses. Their role in chronic viral hepatitis C (CHC) and contribution to the progression of liver disease is unknown. The aim of
