2B4/CD48-Mediated Regulation of Lymphocyte Activation and Function

2 B 4 / CD 48 - Mediated Regulation of Lymphocyte Activation and Function 1

Academic Achievement as a Function of Goal Orientation and Course Perception Mediated by Academic Self-Regulation

To help with the prediction of school achievement through a mathematical model incorporating goal orientation, course perception, and academic self-regulation, a sample of 380 9th graders in Tabriz was selected using the cluster sampling method. Instruments used to measure these constructs were translated ones. Data analyses showed that goal orientation and course perception have a direct impac...

Lymphocyte Activation and Function 2 B 4 / CD 48 - Mediated Regulation of Benedict J . Chambers and Hans - Gustaf Ljunggren

Regulation of lymphocyte function by adenosine.

Adenosine regulates the interaction between lymphocytes and the vasculature, and is important for controlling lymphocyte trafficking in response to tissue injury or infection. Adenosine can blunt the effects of T cell receptor activation primarily by activating adenosine A(2A) receptors and signaling via cyclic AMP and protein kinase A. Protein kinase A reduces proximal T cell receptor signalin...

Caspases: Activation, Regulation, and Function

The main effectors of apoptosis are proteases belonging to the caspase family. Caspases represent key mediators in the initiation and execution of the apoptotic program. The apoptotic caspases constitute a minimal two-step signaling pathway that culminates in the controlled demise of the affected cell. At the center of intense research for more than a decade and a half, a thorough picture of th...
