Brown researchers make major signal transduction discovery
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] The chemical process known as acetylation plays a central role in cytokine receptor signal transduction a fundamental biochemical cascade inside cells that controls the activity of antiviral and tumor-suppressing genes. A team of cell biologists led by Euge...Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Settles License Dispute With Alfa Wassermann

...f native cellular binding sites reduced adenoviral transduction at least 100-fold. Insertion of the YSA peptide in the HI loop restored adenoviral transduction of EphA2R-expressing cells but not of cells lacking this receptor.

... time." CPSI-2364 is a chemically-modified form of the synthetic guanylhydrozone, semapimod. Semapimod has been shown to inhibit the signal transduction pathways that lead to the production of nitric oxide and important pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8. Semapimod h...New insight into the mechanisms of voltage sensing and transduction in biological processes
The voltage sensor of voltage-gated ion channels is a conserved protein domain that senses millivolt changes in transmembrane potential, to regulate ion permeation through the channel. A recently discovered protein, Ci-VSP, has a voltage sensor that is coupled not to an ion channel but to a phosph...Investigating the development of mechanosensitivity

Leuven, Belgium Our brain consists of billions of cells that continually transmit signals to each other. This dynamic process − which enables us to learn, remember, and so much more − works only when the brain cells make contact correctly, or, in other words, when there is a good 'syn...In Vivo Signal Transduction Pathway Reporting Systems
