Neurotrophic Factors and Intracellular Signal Transduction Pathways
A clear limitation of treating diseases of the central nervous system arises from the loss of regenerative potential of the brain at a very early age. Improper development of neural circuits or injury of neurons appears to be permanently fixed in the adult, with seemingly little hope of restorative therapy. This is most clearly true of the spectrum of neurologic diseases, such as neurodegenerat...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways Leading to Heat Shock Transcription.
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are essential for intracellular protein folding during stress and protect cells from denaturation and aggregation cascades that can lead to cell death. HSP genes are regulated at the transcriptional level by heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) that is activated by stress and binds to heat shock elements in HSP genes. The activation of HSF1 during heat shock involv...
متن کاملEngineering Signal Transduction Pathways
Cells respond to their environment by sensing signals and translating them into changes in gene expression. In recent years, synthetic networks have been designed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems to create new functionalities and for specific applications. In this review, we discuss the challenges associated with engineering signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, we address advant...
متن کاملArteriogenesis: a focus on signal transduction cascades and transcription factors.
In recent years intensive investigations have been performed to unravel the molecular mechanisms of collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis), a process designed by nature to compensate the devastating consequences of major arterial occlusions. Currently, a variety of gene products as well as signal transduction pathways involved in arteriogenesis have been identified. However, it is still not ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways for Leptin
Leptin is a critical regulator of energy balance in mammals and has served as a launch point for innumerable studies examining the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure (1). At high physiological concentrations, leptin causes a decrease in food intake, an increase in energy expenditure, and a shift to increased fatty acid oxidation. These physiological shifts lead to a decrease in bo...
