TLDR
Three-dimensional structures of the Trk receptors, in one instance in association with a neurotrophin, have revealed the structural bases underlying specificity in neurotrophIn signaling, where key intermediates are localized to different membrane compartments.About:

Physiology of Microglia
TL;DR: Current studies indicate that even in the normal brain, microglia have highly motile processes by which they scan their territorial domains, and microglial cells are considered the most susceptible sensors of brain pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trk receptors: roles in neuronal signal transduction.
Eric J. Huang,Louis F. Reichardt +1 more
TL;DR: The most fascinating aspect of Trk receptor-mediated signaling is its interplay with signaling promoted by the pan-neurotrophin receptor p75NTR, which activates a distinct set of signaling pathways within cells that are in some instances synergistic and in other instances antagonistic to those activated by Trk receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotrophins and their receptors: a convergence point for many signalling pathways.
TL;DR: Recent findings that neurotrophins, in addition to promoting survival and differentiation, exert various effects through surprising interactions with other receptors and ion channels are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroblastoma: biological insights into a clinical enigma.
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding the biology and genetics of neuroblastomas have allowed classification into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups, which allows the most appropriate intensity of therapy to be selected — from observation alone to aggressive, multimodality therapy.

Function and Regulation of CREB Family Transcription Factors in the Nervous System
Bonnie E. Lonze,David D. Ginty +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the current level of understanding of where, when, and how CREB family members function in the nervous system.

Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor
Anne Brunet,Azad Bonni,Michael J. Zigmond,Michael Z. Lin,Peter Juo,Linda Hu,Michael J. Anderson,Karen C. Arden,John Blenis,Michael E. Greenberg +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.

Akt Phosphorylation of BAD Couples Survival Signals to the Cell-Intrinsic Death Machinery
Sandeep Robert Datta,Henryk Dudek,Xu Tao,Shane C. Masters,Haian Fu,Yukiko Gotoh,Michael E. Greenberg +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that growth factor activation of the PI3'K/Akt signaling pathway culminates in the phosphorylation of the BCL-2 family member BAD, thereby suppressing apoptosis and promoting cell survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular survival: a play in three Akts
TL;DR: The mechanisms by which survival factors regulate the PI3K/c-Akt cascade, the evidence that activation of the PI 3K/ c-AKT pathway promotes cell survival, and the current spectrum of c- akt targets and their roles in mediating c- Akt-dependent cell survival are reviewed.

Neurotrophins: roles in neuronal development and function.
Eric J. Huang,Louis F. Reichardt +1 more
TL;DR: Neurotrophins regulate development, maintenance, and function of vertebrate nervous systems, and control synaptic function and synaptic plasticity, while continuing to modulate neuronal survival.

Rho GTPases and their effector proteins.
Anne L. Bishop,Alan Hall +1 more
TL;DR: The main focus of this review will be Rho, Rac and Cdc42, the three best characterized mammalian Rho GTPases, though the genetic analysis of RhoGTPases in lower eukaryotes is making increasingly important contributions to this field.
