About the Cover

Lan et al. investigated that Egr-1 deficiency leads to a decrease in TGFβ1 in vitro and in vivo neuronal cells and inhibits both Smad and non-Smad signaling pathways. It was revealed that Egr-1 plays a key role in neuronal survival mediated by TGFβ1 signaling pathway. The backbone of the cover is a double helix of DNA, and early growth response protein 1 (Egr-1, red) is a transcription factor that triggers transcription of the downstream gene TGFβ1 (green). Egr-1 affects neurodegeneration in EAE mice by regulating a signaling pathway associated with TGFβ1 (a healthy mouse above, a disease mouse below). See pages 283–292.
