The authors identify the Bearded-type small protein E(spl)m4 as a physical and genetic interactor of TRAF4 in the Drosophila wing disc. These valuable findings with potential biomedical relevance are, ...
Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead ...
ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that is common and significantly impacted in middle-aged and elderly people, and its accompanying inflammatory response plays a crucial ...
Preeclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension and multiorgan dysfunction, posing significant risks to both maternal and fetal health. Although low-dose aspirin is ...
Understanding the mechanisms that govern cell survival and immune activation is crucial for controlling viral infections. Protein kinase B (Akt) plays a key role in these physiological processes. This ...
Introduction: Renal fibrosis is an endpoint event of various progressive chronic kidney diseases (CKD), but there are no effective antifibrotic treatments. Yiqi Qingre Gao (YQQRG) has shown potential ...
Owing to its high mortality rate, lung cancer (LC) remains the most common cancer worldwide, with the highest malignancy diagnosis rate. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) ...
Elimination of autoreactive developing B cells is an important mechanism to prevent autoantibody production. However, how B cell receptor (BCR) signaling triggers apoptosis of immature B cells remains ...
Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
