Interaction of the T cell receptor (TCR) with an MHC-antigenic peptide complex results in
changes at the molecular and cellular levels in T cells. The outside environmental cues are …

Interferons are cytokines that have antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory effects.
Because of these important properties, in the past two decades, major research efforts have …

Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been discovered to have a role in metastasis. Here we
describe how miRNAs are involved in advanced stages of tumour progression, stressing …

The fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) family of ligands and receptor tyrosine kinases is required

Fluorescence-or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a measurable physical energy
transfer phenomenon between appropriate chromophores, when they are in sufficient …

The focal pattern of atherosclerotic lesions in arterial vessels suggests that local blood flow
patterns are important factors in atherosclerosis. Although disturbed flows in the branches …

Phosphatidylserine recognition receptors are a highly diverse set of receptors grouped by
their ability to recognize the 'eat‐me'signal phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells. Most of the …

Together with its ligand, stem cell factor, the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit is a key controlling
receptor for a number of cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells …

Src family nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases transduce signals that control normal cellular
processes such as cell proliferation, adhesion and motility. Normally, cellular Src is held in …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are essential for self‐renewal of skeletal muscle stem cells
(satellite cells) and required for maintenance and repair of skeletal muscle. Satellite cells …
