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 ...

Calcium (Ca2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum ...

A large, multi-institution study led by a Brown University physician-scientist could have important implications for the development of new classes of cancer therapeutics.

A study by the Mildred Scheel Early Career Center group led by Dr. Mohamed Elgendy at the TUD Faculty of Medicine provides ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising Gα, Gβ and Gγ subunits, are central to the transduction of extracellular signals into precise intracellular responses in plants. These proteins not only regulate ...

Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when ...

A protein essential to the human body for managing energy and regulating appetite relies on a partner protein, according to ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

A natural vitamin A transporter, RBP4, can awaken latent HIV through NF-κB signalling, offering a new angle for cure ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked protein that helps regulate appetite and energy use in the body. This ...
