Life Science Posters

A range of posters authored by leading experts

In collaboration with TiPS, we have produced the following range of life science posters. Authored by leading experts in the field, and summarizing key areas of research, they provide a colorful and informative source of information. We invite you to request your copy today.

Apoptosis - Regulation and Intervention

Diane Crighton, Helen S. Bell and Kevin M. Ryan, Beatson Institute for Cancer Research

Apoptosis is an orchestrated cell death mechanism that brings about removal of cells without inflammation and stress. The key signaling pathways associated with the regulation of apoptosis are summarized in this poster.

G-protein-coupled Receptors & Signaling Networks

Maria Julia Marinissen, Universidad Autonóma de Madrid
J. Silvio Gutkind, National Institutes of Health

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of cell-surface molecules involved in signal transmission. The poster summarizes the intricate network of intracellular signaling pathways involved in their function.

Regulation of Vascular Reactivity by G-protein-coupled Receptors

Janet J. Maguire and Anthony P. Davenport, University of Cambridge

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western world and therefore this therapeutic area continues to be of great interest to researches. This poster highlights the key GPCRs regulating vascular reactivity.

Gut Hormones and the Regulation of Appetite

Victoria J. Taylor, Preeti H. Jethwa, Caroline J. Small and Stephen R. Bloom, Imperial College London

The gastrointestinal tract is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, secreting hormones that affect digestion, appetite and energy expenditure. Neuropeptide modulators and gut hormones that influence appetite are reviewed in this poster.

The GABA Receptors

Norman Bowery, University of Birmingham
Paul Whiting and Keith Wafford, Merck Sharpe and Dohme Research Laboratories

GABA is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. This poster provides an overview of GABA receptor structure, function and ligand binding sites.

Pharmacological Modulators of Peripheral Sensitization

Michael R. Vasko and Grant D. Nicol, Indiana University

Peripheral sensitization is defined here as a reduction in the threshold of excitability of sensory neurons that results in an augmented response to a given external stimulus. Inhibitory and excitatory modulators of peripheral sensitization are reviewed in this poster.

Calcium Imbalance and Neuroprotective Targets in Cerebral Ischemia and Brain Injury

Elaine F. Besancon, Suzhen Guo, Josephine Lok and Eng H. Lo, Harvard Medical School
Michael Tymianshi, University of Toronto

After cerebral ischemia and brain injury, a wide spectrum of pathophysiological mechanisms are activated. This poster summarizes the key receptors, transporters and intracellular signals that might reveal a neuroprotective target for stroke, trauma and neurodegeneration.

Seven Transmembrane Receptor Signaling

Terry Kenakin, GlaxoSmithKline Research and Development
Robert Lefkowitz and Jonathan Violin, Duke University Medical Center
Michel Bouvier and Geneviève Oligny-Longpré, Université de Montréal

Seven-transmembrane (7-TM)-receptors are now recognised as complex processors of information that can bind to molecules and cytosolic interactants on the cell membrane. The 7-TM poster highlights the multiple behaviors of 7-TMs including G-protein-dependent and -independent signaling as well as the concept of collateral efficacy.

Neurobiology and Therapeutics of Parkinson's Disease

Anthony H. Schapira, University College London

Parkinson's disease (PD) causes chronic disability and is the second most common neurodegenerative condition. The Parkinson's disease poster highlights the neurobiology of the disease and highlights current and new therapeutic interventions.
