Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...

Microbial survival and adaptation often rely on the precise detection of small diatomic gases such as oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide. Central to this capacity are heme prosthetic groups, in ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive enzymes—so-called sensor histidine kinases (SHKs)—transmit their signal through a ...

A signaling system known as the Wnt pathway plays a central role in how cells in the intestine grow, divide and renew themselves. Decades of research have shown that disruption of this pathway is a ...

A research team led by Prof. Liu Qingsong at the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new drug ...
