Researchers from the University of Illinois have discovered a key factor responsible for facilitating signal transduction in Cys-loop receptors, providing insight into a longstanding question in the ...

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 ...

Cell migration is orchestrated by signal transduction networks that translate extracellular cues into coordinated intracellular responses. Directed migration depends on the establishment of front–back ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of human membrane proteins and an important class of drug targets, play a role in maintaining numerous physiological processes. Agonist or ...

Researchers led by Dr. Wang Lei and Wang Bing from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have shown that the non-transcriptional activity of the ...

Electron-proton coupled motion is widespread in both natural and synthetic materials. The best-known mechanism is proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), which is vital to bioenergetics, cellular ...
