Doublecortin-like kinase 1(DCLK1)is upregulated in many tumors and is a marker for tumor stem cells.Accumulating evidence suggests DCLK1 constitutes a promising drug target for cancer therapy.However,the regulation of...
Despite the lack of a cellular,adaptive immune system,plants share with animals an innate immune system and can effectively fight off pathogen attack using two layers of defense response:the first layer consists of pl...
With the support by the National Natural Science Foundation of China,a research group led by Prof.Li JiXi(李继喜)from Fudan University demonstrates that the C-terminal of gasdermin D(GSDMD-C)acts as an autoinhibition ...
The Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin (CN), a heterodimer composed of a catalytic subunit A and an essential regulatory subunit B, plays critical functions in various cellular processes such...
