Tyrosine kinase oncogenes and growth-regulatory signal transduction. Research in our laboratory is focused on the molecular mechanisms regulating cellular growth and differentiation in both normal and tumor cells. Using hematopoietic differentiation and fibroblast transformation as model systems, we are investigating the roles of non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and small G-proteins in these processes. Tyrosine kinase activity is associated with many proteins involved in growth-regulatory signal transduction, including growth hormone receptors and transforming oncogene products. 1, record 3, English, - small%20G%2DProtein

One of the early and fundamental modifications of the basic neural element proposed by Widrow. The Adaline has provisions for independent adjustment of each of the weights on the input to the threshold sections.

The term Adaline is an acronym; however, its meaning has changed somewhat over the years. Initially called the ADAptive Linear Neuron, it became the ADAptive LINear Element, when neural networks fell out of favor in the late 1960s. 1, record 10, English, - Adaptive%20Linear%20Neuron
