Understanding how mutations in the kinase TLK2 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Tousled-like kinase 2 (TLK2) was recently identified as a novel genetic locus for a neurodevelopmental disorder. Patients predominantly possess de novo mutations in TLK2, leading to a reduction in its expression or kinase activity. Read more

Understanding transcription factor complexes controlling endothelial cell quiescence and escape from quiescence

University of Nottingham Division of Cancer and Stem Cells

Endothelial cell proliferation and lymphatic cell proliferation is initiated during angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis respectively and are both regulated by the VEGF signalling pathway. With some exceptions, endothelial and lymphatic cells in healthy individuals are quiescent and do not proliferate. Read more
