A Mouse Model for Mental Disorders and Epilepsy
Current State of the Art The Neuregulin/ErbB4 signaling pathway is involved in GABAergic neurotransmission, an important inhibitory neurotransmission that regulates several processes in the central nervous system including muscle tone. Aberrant GABAergic function has been implicated in Schizophrenia, Schizo-affective disorder and in Epilepsy....

Erbin as a Target to Regulate ErbB2 and Neuregulin Signaling
AU researchers found that erbin is a protein that interacts with ErbB2 and is critical for its expression on the surface membrane. ErbB2 becomes unstable when erbin expression is inhibited by a small interference RNA. ErbB2 is one of the most potent oncogenes in tumor genesis and metastasis. This therapeutic agent competes favorably with other drugs...

Novel Composition for HER2+ Cancer
The Current State of the Art: HER2 (also known as ErbB2), a receptor tyrosine kinase is overexpressed in around 25% of breast cancer cells. It is a known anti-cancer target to the monoclonal antibody, Trastuzumab. Limitation of the Current Art: However, about 20% patients develop resistance to Trastuzumab. Pertuzumab, Lapatinib, and other trastuzumab...

Netrin-1 as a Potential Target for Diagnosis and Treatment of Male Fertility and Infertility Associated Disorders
Current State of the Art Male infertility can range from low or no production of sperm to poor motility in mature sperm. Treatments for male infertility include surgery that can involve removing occlusions that block sperm motility or direct harvesting of the sperm. Medications are used that increase sperm production. These include gonadotropins, testosterone...
