TL;DR: A combination of techniques from cell biology, biophysics, physical chemistry, structural biology, and bioinformatics are starting to help establish the molecular principles of an emerging field, thus paving the way for exciting discoveries, including novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of age-related disorders.

TL;DR: Stat6-l- mice were deficient in IL-4-mediated functions including Th2 helper T-cell differentiation, expression of cell surface markers, and immunoglobulin class switching to IgE, indicating the lack of a non-redundant function in normal development.
Abstract: Signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stats) are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in response to cytokines, and are thought to mediate many of their functional responses. Stat6 is activated in response to interleukin (IL)-4 and may contribute to various functions including mitogenesis, T-helper cell differentiation and immunoglobulin isotype switching. To evaluate the role of Stat6, we generated Stat6-null mice (Stat6 -/-) by gene disruption in embryonic stem cells. The mice were viable, indicating the lack of a non-redundant function in normal development. Although naive lymphoid cell development was normal, Stat6 -/- mice were deficient in IL-4-mediated functions including Th2 helper T-cell differentiation, expression of cell surface markers, and immunoglobulin class switching to IgE. In contrast, IL-4-mediated proliferation was only partly affected.

TL;DR: A novel cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, termed BPK (B cell progenitor kinase), which is expressed in all stages of the B lineage and in myeloid cells is described, likely the XLA gene and functions in pathways critical to B cell expansion.

TL;DR: In addition to the role of rapamycin as an immune suppressant, emerging data indicate that genetic and metabolic changes accompanying malignant transformation might cause hypersensitivity to TOR inhibition.
Abstract: Rapamycin, a macrocyclic lactone, is a highly specific inhibitor of the serine/threonine protein kinase target of rapamycin (TOR). Although it is clear that TOR controls initiation of protein translation, recent results indicate that TOR is a central controller, integrating a plethora of signalling pathways that respond to growth factors and nutritional status. In addition to the role of rapamycin as an immune suppressant, emerging data indicate that genetic and metabolic changes accompanying malignant transformation might cause hypersensitivity to TOR inhibition.

TL;DR: The phenotypes of the mice demonstrate an essential, and often redundant, role for the two Stat5 proteins in a spectrum of physiological responses associated with growth hormone and prolactin.
