CD40 is constitutively expressed on platelets and provides a novel mechanism for platelet activation [PDF]
CD40 is a 48-kDa phosphorylated transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily. CD40 has been demonstrated on a range of cell types, and it has an important role in adaptive immunity and inflammation.

Activation of Ciona sperm motility: phosphorylation of dynein polypeptides and effects of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor [PDF]
A high molecular mass dynein ATPase polypeptide and a 18–20 kDa dynein light chain of Ciona sperm flagella are phosphorylated during in vivo activation of motility or in vitro activation of motility by incubation with cyclic AMP.

The chronic myeloid leukemia stem cell: stemming the tide of persistence [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is caused by the acquisition of the tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL1 in a haemopoietic stem cell (HSC), transforming it into a leukaemic stem cell (LSC) that self-renews, proliferates and differentiates to give rise to a ...
