NEAP/DUSP26 suppresses receptor tyrosine kinases and regulates neuronal development in zebrafish
Expression of neuroendocrine-associated phosphatase (NEAP, also named as dual specificity phosphatase 26, [DUSP26]) is restricted to neuroendocrine tissues. We found that NEAP, but not its phosphatase-defective mutant, suppressed nerve growth factor (NGF)

Swedish Nerve Growth Factor Mutation (NGFR100W) Defines a Role for TrkA and p75NTR in Nociception
Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts multiple functions on target neurons throughout development. The recent discovery of a point mutation leading to a change from arginine to tryptophan at residue 100 in the mature NGFβ sequence (NGFR100W) in patients with ...

Quantum measurement of coherence in coupled quantum dots [PDF]
We describe the conditional and unconditional dynamics of two coupled quantum dots when one dot is subjected to a measurement of its occupation number using a single electron transistor (SET).

The neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor TrkA (NTRK1) and its ligand nerve growth factor (NGF) are emerging promoters of tumor progression. In lung cancer, drugs targeting TrkA are in clinical trials, but the clinicopathological significance of TrkA and

Clinical features for diagnosis and management of patients with PRDM12 congenital insensitivity to pain. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is a rare extreme phenotype characterised by an inability to perceive pain present from birth due to lack of, or malfunction of, nociceptors.

How round is a protein? Exploring protein structures for globularity using conformal mapping. [PDF]
We present a new algorithm that automatically computes a measure of the geometric difference between the surface of a protein and a round sphere. The algorithm takes as input two triangulated genus zero surfaces representing the protein and the round ...

Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies of Macrophage Polarization in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
This article reviews the role of macrophage polarization in IVDD. It details how macrophage polarization influences various pathomechanisms of disc degeneration, including the inflammatory microenvironment, NPCs senescence, angiogenesis, fibrosis, and neural ingrowth and sensitization.
