    Targeting the actin nucleation promoting factor WASp provides a therapeutic approach for hematopoietic malignancies

    Cancer cells depend on actin cytoskeleton rearrangement to carry out hallmark malignant functions including activation, proliferation, migration and invasiveness. Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) is an ...

    Oligomerization of signaling complexes by the multipoint binding of GRB2 to both LAT and SOS1

    Receptor oligomerization is vital for activating intracellular signaling, in part by initiating events that recruit effector and adaptor proteins to sites of active signaling. Whether these distal molecules th...

    Dynamic molecular interactions linking the T cell antigen receptor to the actin cytoskeleton

    T cell receptor (TCR) engagement leads to actin polymerization at the site of T cell contact with antigen-presenting cells. Here we have studied the dynamic activity of proteins involved in regulating actin po...

    The mesenchyme expresses T cell receptor mRNAs: relevance to cell growth control

    The mesenchyme plays a crucial regulatory role in organ formation and maintenance. However, comprehensive molecular characterization of these cells is lacking. We found unexpectedly that primary mesenchyme, as...
