This study developed a smartphone application that provides wireless communication, NRTIP client, and RTK processing features, and which can simplify the Network RTK-GPS system while reducing the required cost. A determination method for an error model in Network RTK measurements was proposed, considering both random and autocorrelation errors, to accurately calculate the coordinates measured b...

Activating FLT3 mutations are the most common genetic aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), resulting in the constitutive activation of this receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), but such mutations are rarely found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Here we describe a unique subset of de novo adult T-cell ALL (T-ALL) cases that coexpress CD117/KIT and cytoplasmic CD3 (CD117/KIT(+) ALL). Ac...

Tyrosine kinases are mainly classified into two groups, as receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and non-receptor tyrosine kinase (NRTK). The RTK family of transmembrane ligand-binding proteins are important mediators of the signaling cascade and includes EGFR, PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptors), FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) and the IR (insulin receptor). RTKs comprise 59 mem...

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are essential for cell growth, migration, and survival. The structure of a p110β/p85β complex identifies an inhibitory function for the C-terminal SH2 domain (cSH2) of the p85 regulatory subunit. Mutagenesis of a cSH2 contact residue activates downstream signaling in cells. This inhibitory contact ties up the C-terminal region of the p110β catalytic subunit, w...

Activating oncogenic mutations of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have been reported in several types of cancers. In many cases, genomic rearrangements lead to the fusion of unrelated genes to the DNA coding for the kinase domain of RTKs. All RTK-derived fusion proteins reported so far display oligomerization sequences within the 5' fusion partners that are responsible for oncogenic activation...

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) are the most common soft tissue sarcomas of childhood and adolescence. To date, there are no effective treatments that target the genetic abnormalities in RMS, and current treatment options for high-risk groups are not adequate. Over the past two decades, research into the molecular mechanisms of RMS has identified key genes and signaling pathways involved in disease pa...

The purpose of the study is to develop the guidance system by the sensor fusion integration with a machine vision, an RTKGPS and a geometric direction sensor (GDS). The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and a statistical method based on twodimensional Probability Density Function are adopted as a fusion integration methodology in this research. To achieve the navigation planner based on sensor fusio...

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key transmembrane environmental sensors that are capable of transmitting extracellular information into phenotypic responses, including cell proliferation, survival and metabolism. Advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics have been instrumental in providing the foundations of much of our current understanding of RTK signalling networks and ...

Crucial to the performance of GPS Network RTK positioning is that a user receives and applies correction information from a CORS Network. These corrections are necessary for the user to account for the atmospheric (ionospheric and tropospheric) delays and possibly orbit errors between his approximate location and the locations of the CORS Network stations. In order to provide the most precise c...

Negative feedback is among the key mechanisms for regulating receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling. Human Sef, a recently identified inhibitor of RTK signaling, encodes different isoforms, including a membrane spanning (hSef-a) and a cytosolic (hSef-b) isoform. Previously, we reported that hSef-b inhibited fibroblast proliferation and prevented the activation of mitogen-activated protein kin...
