Prognostic value of matrix metalloproteinases and transforming growth factor – β in kidney cancer
Purpose of the study. The study's objective is to investigate the expression level of tissue and serum markers of oncogenesis and nephrofibrosis transforming growth factor beta (TGF‑β) and matrix metalloproteinase‑9 (MMP‑9) in patients operated for ...

Transforming Growth Factor-α Attenuates N-Methyl-D-aspartic Acid Toxicity in Cortical Cultures by Preventing Protein Synthesis Inhibition through an Erk1/2-dependent Mechanism [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), a ligand of the epidermal growth factor receptor, reduces the infarct size after focal cerebral ischemia in rat, but the molecular basis underlying the protection is unknown. Excitotoxicity and global inhibition of translation are acknowledged to contribute significantly to the ischemic damage.

Gene Expression and the Physiological Role of Transforming Growth Factor-α in the Mouse Pituitary [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, is produced within the mouse anterior pituitaries. However, the cell types of TGF-alpha-expressing cells and the physiological roles of TGF-a within mouse

Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Serum protein fingerprinting by PEA immunoassay coupled with a pattern-recognition algorithms distinguishes MGUS and multiple myeloma [PDF]
Serum protein fingerprints associated with MGUS and MM and their changes in MM after autologous stem cell transplantation (MM-ASCT, day 100) remain unexplored.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
