The role of the microtubule-associated protein (MAP) tau in axon growth remains controversial. Antisense experiments have suggested that tau is required for axon outgrowth, whereas genetic knockout and immunodepletion studies have suggested that tau plays no role in this process. To investigate the

We examined the concentration- and time-dependent effects of two related protein kinase inhibitors, KT5926 and K-252a, on neurite formation and nerve growth cone migration of chick embryo sensory neurons. The effects of these drugs on neurite formation over an 18-h period were dissimilar. KT5926 sti
## Abstract Although neurons of the PNS no longer require neurotrophins such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for their survival, such factors are involved in regulating axonal sprouting and regeneration after injury. In addition to the neurotrophin receptors, sensory neurons are reported to express IG
## Abstract We recently isolated mutant PC12 cell clones (PC84 cells) by transfection of PC12 cells with nerve growth factor (NGF) cDNA. These cells secreted active NGF and extended short processes, but proliferated faster than the parental PC12 cells. Because the expression level of p75, a lowβaff
## Abstract In __de novo__ glioblastoma multiforme, loss of the tumour suppressor protein PTEN can coincide with the expression of a naturally occurring mutant epidermal growth factor receptor known as ΞEGFR. ΞEGFR signals constitutively via the phosphatidylinositol 3βkinase (PI3K)/protein kinase A
## Abstract DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are essential for maintenance of aberrant methylation in cancer cells and play important roles in the development of cancers. Unregulated activation of PI3K/Akt pathway is a prominent feature of many human cancers including human hepatocellular carcinoma (
