One of the most important mechanisms is receptor-mediated signaling. A peptide attaches to a specific receptor on the cell surface, which then activates intracellular proteins such as kinases or ...

Neurons with approximately billion units are found throughout the body. The nervous system is the dominant regulatory system in the human body. In terms of function and location, the nervous system is ...

Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a diverse group of aggressive malignancies that arise from mature, post-thymic T cells. Recent genomic and mechanistic studies reveal that these cancers ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

One finding of the study, now published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, surprised the researchers: The mice were simultaneously protected against hypertension by activating a different ...
