Angiotensin II Signal Transduction: An Update on Mechanisms of Physiology and Pathophysiology.
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays crucial roles in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. However, many of the signaling mechanisms have been unclear.

Self-organization of signal transduction
We propose a model of parameter learning for signal transduction, where the objective function is defined by signal transmission efficiency. We apply this to learn kinetic rates as a form of evolutionary learning, and look for parameters which satisfy ...

Finite-State Channel Models for Signal Transduction in Neural Systems
Information theory provides powerful tools for understanding communication systems. This analysis can be applied to intercellular signal transduction, which is a means of chemical communication among cells and microbes.

Conidiation in Neurospora crassa: vegetative reproduction by a model fungus [PDF]
Asexual development, conidiation, in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a simple developmental process that starts with the growth of aerial hyphae.

Indispensable role of Galectin-3 in promoting quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells
Long term haematopoitic stem cells (LT-HSCs) are in a quiescent state during homeostasis, which is critical for their maintenance. Here, the authors show that Gal-3 expression in LT-HSCs is induced in response to Tie2 and Mpl and is both necessary and ...

Optimal length and signal amplification in weakly activated signal transduction cascades
Weakly activated signaling cascades can be modeled as linear systems. The input-to-output transfer function and the internal gain of a linear system, provide natural measures for the propagation of the input signal down the cascade and for the ...

CRLF2 rearrangement in Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia predicts relative glucocorticoid resistance that is overcome with MEK or Akt inhibition. [PDF]
Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a genetically heterogeneous subtype of B-cell ALL characterized by chromosomal rearrangements and mutations that result in aberrant cytokine receptor and kinase signaling.

Mepazine Inhibits RANK-Induced Osteoclastogenesis Independent of Its MALT1 Inhibitory Function
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is an intracellular cysteine protease (paracaspase) that plays an integral role in innate and adaptive immunity.

Attachment of HeLa cells during early G1 phase [PDF]
Both growth factor directed and integrin dependent signal transduction were shown to take place directly after completion of mitosis. The local activation of these signal transduction cascades was investigated in early G1 cells.
