Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot ...

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot soldier in the body's defense ...

UNC postdoctoral Ajit Prakash explores how G proteins function as intracellular pH sensors and how this affects cell ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Despite its compact structure—composed of only three amino acids—this endogenous tripeptide has been repeatedly situated at ...
