The angiopoietins are a new family of growth factor ligands that bind to TIE2/TEK RTK (Receptor Tyrosine Kinase).

Antigen Processing and Presentation by MHCs

Antigen processing and presentation are the processes that result in association of proteins with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules for recognition by a T-cell.

Apoptosis Through Death Receptors

Certain cells have unique sensors, termed death receptors (DRs), which detect the presence of extracellular death signals and rapidly ignite the cell's intrinsic apoptosis machinery.

APRIL Pathway

In immune responses, APRIL acts as a co-stimulator for B-cell and T-cell proliferation and supports class switch.

B-Cell Development Pathway

In immune responses, APRIL acts as a co-stimulator for B-cell and T-cell proliferation and supports class switch.

B-Cell Receptor Complex

The B-cell receptor (BCR) complex usually consists of an antigen-binding subunit that is composed of two Ig heavy chains, two Ig light chains, and a signaling subunit.

BMP Pathway

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a large subclass of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily.

Cancer Immunoediting

The immune system attempts to constrain tumor growth, but sometimes tumor cells might escape or attenuate this immune pressure.

CCR5 Pathway in Macrophages

C-C motif chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a member of the chemokine receptor subclass of the G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily.

CD4 and CD8 T-Cell Lineage

Each mature T-cell generally retains expression of the co-receptor molecule (CD4 or CD8) that has a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-binding property that matches that of its T-cell receptor (TCR).

Cellular Apoptosis Pathway

Apoptosis is a naturally occurring process by which a cell is directed to programmed cell death.

CTL-Mediated Apoptosis

The cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T-cells, are produced during cell-mediated immunity designed to remove body cells displaying a foreign epitope.

CTLA4 Signaling Pathway

The co-stimulatory CTLA4 pathway attenuates or down-regulates T-cell activation. CTLA4 is designed to remove body cells displaying a foreign epitope.

Cytokine Network

Cytokines have been classified on the basis of their biological responses into pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines, depending on their effects on immunocytes.

ErbB Family Pathway

The ErbB family of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) plays an important role during the growth and development of organs.

Fas Signaling

FAS (also called APO1 or CD95) is a death domain–containing member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily.

FGF Pathway

One of the most well characterized modulators of angiogenesis is the heparin-binding fibroblast growth factor (FGF).

Granulocyte Adhesion and Diapedesis

Adhesion and diapedesis of granulocytes have mostly been analyzed in context to non-lymphoid endothelium.

Granzyme Pathway

Granzyme A (GzmA) activates a caspase-independent cell death pathway with morphological features of apoptosis.

GSK3 Signaling

GSK3 is a ubiquitously expressed, highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase found in all eukaryotes.

Hematopoiesis from Multipotent Stem Cells

Hematopoietic stem cells are classified into long-term, short-term and multipotent progenitors, based on the extent of their self-renewal abilities.

Hematopoiesis from Pluripotent Stem Cells

Pluripotent stem cells are capable of forming virtually all of the possible tissue types found in human beings.

ICos-ICosL Pathway in T-Helper Cells

IL-2 is a cytokine that stimulates the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, and other immune cells.

IL-2 Gene Expression in Activated and Quiescent T-Cells

IL-2 is a cytokine that stimulates the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, and other immune cells.

IL-6 Pathway

IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that affects the immune system and many physiological events in various organs.

IL-10 Pathway

IL-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine with important immunoregulatory functions and whose activities influence many immune cell types.

IL-22 Pathway

IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 family of cytokines and exerts multiple effects on the immune system.

Interferon Pathway

Interferons are pleiotropic cytokines best known for their ability to induce cellular resistance to viral infection.

JAK/STAT Pathway

The JAK/STAT pathway is a signaling cascade whose evolutionarily conserved roles include cell proliferation and hematopoiesis.

MAPK Family Pathway

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) belong to a large family of serine/threonine protein kinases that are conserved in organisms as diverse as yeast and humans.

Nanog in Mammalian ESC Pluripotency

NANOG is a transcription factor transcribed in pluripotent stem cells and is down-regulated upon cell differentiation.

p53-Mediated Apoptosis Pathway

Tumor protein p53 is a nuclear transcription factor that regulates the expression of a wide variety of genes involved in apoptosis, growth arrest, or senescence in response to genotoxic or cellular stress.

Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic symmetric polyarticular joint disease that primarily affects the small joints of the hands and feet.

PI3K Signaling in B Lymphocytes

The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate numerous biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, survival, proliferation, migration, and metabolism.

RANK Pathway

RANKL and its receptor RANK are key regulators of bone remodeling, and are essential for the development and activation of osteoclasts.

RANK Signaling in Osteoclasts

RANKL induces the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells and stimulates the resorption function and survival of mature osteoclasts.

TGF-Beta Pathway

Members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family play an important role in the development, homeostasis, and repair of most tissues.

THC Differentiation Pathway

T-helper cells of type 1 (TH1) and type 2 (TH2) are derived from T-helper cells and provide help to cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.

TNF Signaling Pathway

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine with effects on lipid metabolism, coagulation, insulin resistance, and endothelial function.
