Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an optimized backbone of FRET biosensors for kinases and GTPases

TL;DR: An optimized backbone for the rapid development of a highly sensitive intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor is reported, which includes an optimized pair of fluorescent proteins and a long flexible linker ranging from 116 to 244 amino acids in length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective inhibition of NF-|[kappa]|B blocks osteoclastogenesis and prevents inflammatory bone destruction in vivo

TL;DR: Selective inhibition of NF-κB activation offers an effective therapeutic approach for inhibiting chronic inflammatory diseases involving bone resorption, and significantly reduced the severity of collagen-induced arthritis in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of the Ras/ERK MAPK Cascade as Monitored by Fluorescent Probes

TL;DR: A kinetic simulation model consisting of the minimum essential members of the Ras/ERK MAPK cascade reproduced essential features of the observed activation and nuclear translocation of ERK.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of DeltaFosB transcription factor(s) increases bone formation and inhibits adipogenesis.

TL;DR: Because osteoblasts and adipocytes are thought to share a common precursor, it is concluded that ΔFosB transcriptionally regulates osteoblastogenesis, possibly at the expense of adipogenesis.
