Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

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, ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors that many common medicines target. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

G protein-coupled receptors, or GPCRs, sit in the plasma membrane, the boundary that defines the inside and outside of a ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoscopy technique that has uncovered previously hidden networks used by cells to communicate ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

Phosphoinositides are phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol that reside at the cytosolic leaflet of cellular membranes and act as pivotal signalling molecules in plant cells. Through the ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
