The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

P-cadherin is a protein commonly found on malignant cancer cells and has been used as a target for antibody-based cancer treatments. UC Davis biomedical engineers have discovered that when an antibody ...

Understanding how cells become fat cells is a crucial part of tackling conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes – and a ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a delicate balance between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and extracellular ...

In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling mechanism that takes place outside the cell, flipping on a 'pain switch.' This ...

Human cells decode dynamics Wnt signals using an anti-resonant filter that suppresses intermediate-frequency inputs and is ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

This specific 1-29 sequence is often referred to as the "functional fragment" because it contains the essential binding domain required to activate GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland.

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...
