MDGAs help the brain lose its inhibitions
MDGAs help the brain lose its inhibitions S ynapse development is promoted by a variety of cell adhesion molecules that connect neurons and organize synaptic proteins. Many of these adhesion molecules are linked to neuro-developmental disorders; mutations in neu-roligin and neurexin family members, for example, are associated with autism and schizophrenia. Pettem et al. reveal that another fami...
متن کاملHis-tags lighten up and lose their inhibitions.
T he ability to control molecular behavior in the four dimensions of time and space is almost uniquely afforded by light. Consequently, there has been a long history of the use of light to trigger molecular interactions in the study of biological phenomena or the creation of active biomolecules (1). One application of this principle has been in the fabrication of protein microarrays, a subset o...
متن کاملTumor-fighting T cells lose their way
Like a tourist without a map, tumor-fighting T cells have a hard time finding their destination without directions. According to Clark et al. (page 2221), dismantling these directions helps skin cancer cells hide from killer T cells. To enter the skin, T cells must grab on to the adhesive molecule E-selectin, which is expressed on the endothelial cells lining blood vessels in the skin. The auth...

During development, epithelial cells need a little help fi guring out which way is up. < a d d a r t t y p e = " r e l " d o i = " 1 0. 1 0 8 3 / j c b. 2 0 0 8 0 7 1 2 1 " > Jaffe et al.< / a d d a r t > show how a polarizing protein ensures that the cells face the right direction. A newborn epithelial cell in, say, the intestinal lining will polarize so that its apical surface is oriented tow...
متن کاملReceptor Sensitivity: When T cells Lose Their Sense of Self
The T-cell antigen receptor binds to self-MHC molecules with low affinity. Recent reports disagree as to whether this interaction sensitizes or desensitizes the receptor. Here we discuss how these findings might be reconciled.
