TGF-β/Smad Signalling in Neurogenesis: Implications for Neuropsychiatric Diseases
TGF-β/Smad signalling has been the subject of extensive research due to its role in the cell cycle and carcinogenesis. Modifications to the TGF-β/Smad signalling pathway have been found to produce disparate effects on neurogenesis.

Systems theory of Smad signaling [PDF]
Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) signalling is an important regulator of cellular growth and differentiation. The principal intracellular mediators of TGF-beta signalling are the Smad proteins, which upon TGF-beta stimulation accumulate in the ...

Phosphatases in SMAD regulation [PDF]
SMAD transcription factors are key mediators of the transforming growth factor‐beta (TGFß) family of cytokines. Reversible phosphorylation of SMAD proteins plays a key role in regulating their function. Several phosphatases have been proposed to act on SMAD proteins to influence TGFß/BMP signalling. Here we provide an overview of the SMAD regulation by

SMAD Proteins in TGF-β Signalling Pathway in Cancer: Regulatory Mechanisms and Clinical Applications
Suppressor of mother against decapentaplegic (SMAD) family proteins are central to one of the most versatile cytokine signalling pathways in metazoan biology, the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway.

Genetic Algorithm-Based Method for Discovering Involutory MDS Matrices
In this paper, we present an innovative approach for the discovery of involutory maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices over finite fields F2q, derived from MDS self-dual codes, by employing a technique based on genetic algorithms. The significance of

DPC4/SMAD4 mutations are associated with aggressive pancreatic cancer. In this issue of Cell, Whittle et al. demonstrate that Runx3 expression combined with Dpc4/Smad4 status can predict the metastatic propensity of pancreatic tumors, providing valuable guidance for personalized therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer.

USP15 targets ALK3/BMPR1A for deubiquitylation to enhance bone morphogenetic protein signalling [PDF]
Protein kinase ALK3/BMPR1A mediates bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling through phosphorylation and activation of SMADs 1/5/8. SMAD6, a transcriptional target of BMP, negatively regulates the BMP pathway by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases and ...
