Anthelmintic resistance and the shortage of new drugs represent an urgent need for the development of novel anti-parasite drugs with effective delivery to the target site. Red...

Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) and signal transduction: additional roles beyond cell death: DAPK and signal transduction

Journal Article
Lin, Y., Hupp, T. R., & Stevens, C. (2009)
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) and signal transduction: additional roles beyond cell death: DAPK and signal transduction. FEBS Journal, 277(1), (48-57). ISSN 1742-464X
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a stress-regulated protein kinase that mediates a range of processes, including signal-induced cell death and autophagy. Although the...

Simpson, R. J., Cosgrove, C., Ingram, L. A., Florida-James, G. D., Whyte, G. P., Pircher, H., & Guy, K. (2008)
Senescent T-lymphocytes are mobilised into the peripheral blood compartment in young and older humans after exhaustive exercise. Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 22(4), 544-551. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbi.2007.11.002
Senescent T-lymphocytes are antigen-experienced cells that express the killer-cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and/or CD57; fail to clonally expand following further antig...

High-intensity exercise elicits the mobilization of senescent T lymphocytes into the peripheral blood compartment in human subjects.

Journal Article
Simpson, R. J., Florida-James, G., Cosgrove, C., Whyte, G. P., Macrae, S., Pircher, H., & Guy, K. (2007)
High-intensity exercise elicits the mobilization of senescent T lymphocytes into the peripheral blood compartment in human subjects. Journal of Applied Physiology, 103, 396-401. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00007.2007
Clonal expansion of T lymphocytes in response to antigenic stimulation is a fundamental process of adaptive immunity. As a consequence of clonal expansion, some T lymphocytes ...
