Signal transduction.
This issue of Breast Disease focuses on the subject of signal transduction and its role in the pathogenesis and progression of human breast cancer. Within the past 10 years, the explosion in our knowledge of these processes has significantly altered our understanding of breast cancer, and resulted in the first receptor-based therapies. This issue examines a variety of relevant signaling pathway...
متن کاملFluorescent-based Quantitative Measurements of Signal Transduction in Single Cells
Budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been widely used as a model system to study fundamental biological processes. Genetic and biochemical approaches have allowed in the last decades to uncover the key components involved in many signaling pathways. Generally, most techniques measure the average behavior of a population of cells, and thus missed important cell-to-cell variations. With t...
متن کاملQuantitation of signal transduction.
Conventional qualitative approaches to signal transduction provide powerful ways to explore the architecture and function of signaling pathways. However, at the level of the complete system, they do not fully depict the interactions between signaling and metabolic pathways and fail to give a manageable overview of the complexity that is often a feature of cellular signal transduction. Here, we ...
متن کاملStudying signal transduction in single dendritic spines.
Many forms of synaptic plasticity are triggered by biochemical signaling that occurs in small postsynaptic compartments called dendritic spines, each of which typically houses the postsynaptic terminal associated with a single glutamatergic synapse. Recent advances in optical techniques allow investigators to monitor biochemical signaling in single dendritic spines and thus reveal the signaling...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibition of Ligand-Stimulated RAGE-DIAPH1 Signal Transduction
The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) binds diverse ligands linked to chronic inflammation and disease. NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallization studies of the extracellular domains of RAGE indicate that RAGE ligands bind by distinct charge- and hydrophobicity-dependent mechanisms. The cytoplasmic tail (ct) of RAGE is essential for RAGE ligand-mediated signal transduction and...
