Learn why sea cucumbers could stop cancer growth due to a unique sugar compound they possess.

Now, the researchers have learned more about what can control the traffic-controlling HTT. They found that two specific signaling proteins, GSK3ß and ERK1, were expressed more in the neurons of ...

Now, new work builds off of previous findings that two specific signaling proteins, GSK3ß and ERK1, were expressed more in the neurons of Huntington’s disease patients. Researchers prevented ...

Conversely, inhibiting ERK1 -- short for extracellular signal-related kinase -- increased axonal blockages and cell death. "The level of ERK1 is clearly important for Huntington's disease, but ...

The authors reveal functional redundancy and shared function for Erk1 and Erk2 in determining medial ganglionic eminence derived glial number, and exclude a role for Erk1 and Erk2 in the regulation of ...

For two weeks, mice in the HFSUC group received intraperitoneal U0126 injections at a dose of 10 mg/kg daily to assess the function of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1 ...

In the present study, we first explored the p-Erk1/2 level in the CSF of aSAH patients. We measured the change in p-Erk1/2 in the CSF and cortex and then investigated the effect of RAH on early brain ...

An active compound in edible mushrooms boosts nerve growth and enhances memory, according to researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia. The research team had identified new active ...
