When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

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, ...

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5), a distinct member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, is increasingly recognised for its central role in transducing extracellular ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease in which healthy lung tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue. While the early events that initiate this change are poorly understood, ...

The most diverse functions of a cell in the human body – from cell division and differentiation to motility and programmed cell death – are controlled by signaling proteins within the cell. This ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.
