Plant Disease Resistance Genes: Function Meets Structure.
The coevolution of interacting plants and microbes has given rise to a diverse array of exchanged signals and responses. Microbes that elicit a host response can be met variously with hospitable acceptance (as is the case with symbionts such as nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria), with tardy recognition and moderately effective defenses (as for most interactions that result in disease), or with...
متن کاملWhere expert opinion meets public resistance.
There is concern and growing evidence that the supply of medical oncologists in the United States will be insufficient to meet the needs of future patients. With an aging population and increasing complexity of cancer therapies, it is clear there will be more patients and that they will live longer and require expert care. It is equally clear that the number of specialists trained in cancer med...
متن کاملParacrine Effect of NRG1 and HGF Drives Resistance to MEK Inhibitors in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma.
Uveal melanoma patients with metastatic disease usually die within one year, emphasizing an urgent need to develop new treatment strategies for this cancer. MEK inhibitors improve survival in cutaneous melanoma patients but show only modest efficacy in metastatic uveal melanoma patients. In this study, we screened for growth factors that elicited resistance in newly characterized metastatic uve...
متن کاملNRG1 and Synaptic Function in the CNS
Recent genetic evidence indicates that neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and its receptor erbB4 may be susceptibility genes in schizophrenia, but their function in CNS synaptic transmission and circuitry is not well understood. In this issue of Neuron, studies from Li et al. and Woo et al. show that NRG1 and erbB4 regulate transmission at brain glutamate and GABA synapses. These findings raise the possibilit...
متن کاملCD74-NRG1 fusions in lung adenocarcinoma.
UNLABELLED We discovered a novel somatic gene fusion, CD74-NRG1, by transcriptome sequencing of 25 lung adenocarcinomas of never smokers. By screening 102 lung adenocarcinomas negative for known oncogenic alterations, we found four additional fusion-positive tumors, all of which were of the invasive mucinous subtype. Mechanistically, CD74-NRG1 leads to extracellular expression of the EGF-like d...
