A signiยฎcant number of human diseases can be attributed to defects in cellular signal transduction pathways. Large-scale proteomics projects now in progress seek to better deยฎne critical components of signal transduction networks, to enable more intelligent design of therapeutic agents that can spec

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) play important roles in the development and physiological function of hematopoietic stem/progenitor and mature cell lineages. In addition, deregulated miRNA expression and subsequent gene expression changes are associated with hematologic diseases including myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia. This review focuses on myelopoiesis as a model to highlight the involvement of miRNA in the regulation of normal and malignant cellular signaling pathways. By incorporating miRNA regulation into wellโestablished myeloid signal transduction pathways, we hope to shed light on targetable factors both upstream and downstream of miRNA signaling. These pathwayโspecific miRNA functions suggest scenarios wherein miRNAโbased therapeutics may be beneficial either alone or in combination with current therapies. J. Cell.

## Abstract Many activities of cells are controlled by cellโsurface receptors, which in response to ligands, trigger intracellular signaling reactions that elicit cellular responses. A hallmark of these signaling reactions is the reversible nucleation of multicomponent complexes, which typically be
An increasing body of evidence shows that many of the key inositol lipids and enzymes responsible for their metabolism reside in nuclei. Moreover, the association of the nuclear phosphoinositide cycle with progression through the cell cycle and commitment toward differentiation has built a wider pic
The field of molecular cell biology has experienced enormous advances over the last century by reducing the complexity of living cells into simpler molecular components and binding interactions that are amenable to rigorous biochemical analysis. However, as our tools become more powerful, there is a
