MET fusions are targetable genomic variants in the treatment of advanced malignancies.

Targeted therapy for malignancies has developed rapidly in recent years, benefiting patients harboring genetic mutations sensitive to relevant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). With the development of targeted sequencing techniques, an increasing number of detectable genomic alterations in malignancies, including MET fusions, have been revealed. MET fusions, although rare among malignancies, might be functional driver genes that participate in activating downstream signaling pathways and promoting cell proliferation.

Regulation of the Ca Channel Ca1.2 Supports Spatial Memory and Its Flexibility and LTD.

Widespread release of norepinephrine (NE) throughout the forebrain fosters learning and memory via adrenergic receptor (AR) signaling, but the molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. The β AR and its downstream effectors, the trimeric stimulatory G-protein, adenylyl cyclase (AC), and the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), form a unique signaling complex with the L-type Ca channel (LTCC) Ca1.2.
