JNK-mediated induction of cyclooxygenase 2 is required for neurodegeneration in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: By eliminating c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) the authors can prevent neurodegeneration and improve motor function in an animal model of PD, and revealed that JNK2- and JNK3-induced COX-2 may be a principle pathway responsible for neurodegenersation in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Regulation of Gata3 Expression Determines the T Helper Differentiation Potential of Notch

TL;DR: It is shown here that Notch was required on CD4(+) T cells for physiological Th2 responses to parasite antigens and Gata3 is a critical element determining inductive Th2 differentiation and limiting Th1 differentiation by Notch.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming growth factor-beta controls T helper type 1 cell development through regulation of natural killer cell interferon-gamma.

TL;DR: It is shown that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) controlled TH1 differentiation through the regulation of interferon-γ produced by natural killer (NK) cells, indicating a previously undescribed demarcation of the function of TGF- β in NK cells versus dendritic cells.
