RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Dependence Receptors: From Basic Research to Drug Development JF Science Signaling JO Sci. Signal. FD American Association for the Advancement of Science SP mr2 OP mr2 DO 10.1126/scisignal.2001521 VO 4 IS 157 A1 Mehlen, Patrick A1 Bredesen, Dale E. YR 2011 UL http://stke.sciencemag.org/content/4/157/mr2.abstract AB The fourth meeting on dependence receptors featured descriptions of previously unknown dependence receptors. New mechanistic data were presented on the switch between the trophic, antiapoptotic response with the proapoptotic response that occurs with loss of trophic support. The possibility that the loss of trophic support may also involve the binding of an active antitrophin was also discussed. New in vivo data were presented on the roles of dependence receptors in development, angiogenesis, oncogenesis, and neurodegeneration, as well as new therapeutic approaches based on dependence receptor function. The next meeting on dependence receptors is scheduled for 2012.
