The formation of complex acetylcholine receptor clusters requires MuSK kinase activity and structural information from the MuSK extracellular domain
Abstract Efficient synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) requires the topological maturation of the postsynaptic apparatus from an oval acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-rich plaque into a complex pretzel-shaped array of branches....

Genomics and genetics of gonadotropin beta-subunit genes: Unique FSHB and duplicated LHB/CGB loci
Abstract The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) play a critical role in human reproduction. Despite the common evolutionary ancestry and functional relatedness of the gonadotropin hormone...

Autophagy, a guardian against neurodegeneration
Abstract Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process responsible for the clearance of most long-lived proteins and organelles. Cytoplasmic components are enclosed by double-membrane autophagosomes, which subsequently fuse with lysosomes for...

Signals from the edges: The cortical hem and antihem in telencephalic development
Abstract The early cortical primordium develops from a sheet of neuroepithelium that is flanked by distinct signaling centers. Of these, the hem and the antihem are positioned as longitudinal stripes, running rostro-caudally along the medial and...

Lateral Facilitation between Primary Mechanosensory Neurons Controls Nose Touch Perception in C. elegans
Summary The nematode C. elegans senses head and nose touch using multiple classes of mechanoreceptor neurons that are electrically coupled through a network of gap junctions. Using in vivo neuroimaging, we have found that multidendritic nociceptors...

Comprehensive characterization of evolutionary conserved breakpoints in four New World Monkey karyotypes compared to Chlorocebus aethiops and Homo sapiens
Abstract Comparative cytogenetic analysis in New World Monkeys (NWMs) using human multicolor banding (MCB) probe sets were not previously done. Here we report on an MCB based FISH-banding study complemented with selected locus-specific and...

Impaired Allogeneic Activation and T-helper 1 Differentiation of Human Cord Blood Naive CD4 T Cells
Abstract CD4 T cells, particularly those of the T-helper 1 (Th1) subset, are important effectors in alloimmune diseases, such as graft-versus-host disease, and in controlling infections with intracellular pathogens. Thus, it is plausible that...

Elevation of Intracellular Cyclic AMP in Alloreactive CD4+ T Cells Induces Alloantigen-Specific Tolerance That Can Prevent GVHD Lethality In Vivo
Abstract Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is an important negative regulator of T cell activation, and an increased level of cAMP is associated with T cell hyporesponsiveness in vitro. We sought to determine whether elevating intracellular cAMP levels ex vivo in...

Cholesteryl ester accumulation and accelerated cholesterol absorption in intestine-specific hormone sensitive lipase-null mice
Abstract Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) regulates the hydrolysis of acylglycerols and cholesteryl esters (CE) in various cells and organs, including enterocytes of the small intestine. The physiological role of this enzyme in enterocytes, however,...

Suppression of natural killer cells in the presence of CD34+ blood progenitor cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes
Abstract Mobilization of CD34+ peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) may induce functional alterations in peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) subsets. We and others have shown that natural...

Growth factors mobilize CXCR4 low/negative primitive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from the bone marrow of nonhuman primates
Abstract The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is expressed by CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/HPC). Several investigators have suggested that expression of CXCR4 may be an important characteristic of HSC/HPC. We studied the dynamic expression ...
