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

Decoding cellular signals has long been a cornerstone of biomedical research, offering insights into how cells communicate and respond to environmental changes. This knowledge is vital for diagnosing ...

Our immune systems kick into gear when we have an infection, and there are a variety of processes used by the body to eliminate pathogenic invaders. Inflammation is a normal part of the immune ...

The field of cellular biophysics and signal processing explores the intricate relationship between the physical properties of cellular components and the mechanisms by which cells manage and transmit ...

Subtle cues prompt cell signals If you thought that all it took to kick-start a signaling pathway was a ligand binding to a receptor, think again. How and when that binding occurs, it turns out, is ...

Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...

A research team at Sejong University's Plant Immunity Laboratory, led by Professor Nam-Soo Jwa, has uncovered an important ...

Even in the comfort of your own home, you might get shoddy cell service from time to time. Maybe your text messages aren't going through, or calls keep dropping right in the middle of a conversation.
