A Neural Protection Racket: AMPK and the GABAB Receptor
The cellular energy-sensing kinase AMPK is known to be activated in neurons in response to metabolic insults, but the downstream consequences have been unclear. A study by Kuramoto and colleagues in this issue of Neuron favors the idea that AMPK activation is neuroprotective, and suggests a potential mechanism for this effect involving phosphorylation of the GABA(B) receptor.
متن کاملThe Protection Racket
In recent years, it has been encouraging to watch the developmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) become more sophisticated in their thinking on the benefits of trade liberalization.

Before the Industrial Revolution, artists and artisans would strive to make a work as perfect as possible. They used the technologies of their time to make as fine a product as their skill and limited technology allowed. Given the long painstaking efforts involved in creation, such items were few in number and available to only a minuscule number of elites. They were the crowning achievement of...
متن کاملProgress in ARDS research: a protection racket?
The acute respiratory distress syndrome in adults (ARDS) may complicate a wide variety of serious medical and surgical conditions, not all of which involve the lung directly. The pathogenesis remains unclear, but involves neutrophil recruitment to the alveoli and inflammatory pathway activation leading to increased permeability of the alveolarcapillary membrane and disordered vascular control, ...
متن کاملInositol phosphates: Does IP4 run a protection racket?
The phosphorylation of IP(3) by IP(3) 3-kinase leads to a number of physiological events, most of which are poorly understood. Recent findings about a hitherto unsuspected action of the IP(3) 3-kinase product, IP(4), suggest that the evolution of IP(3) 3-kinase may have even more far-reaching consequences than we thought.
