Through this network of signaling pathways, the cell is constantly integrating all the information it receives from its external environment. Cells typically receive signals in chemical form via ...

“We’re testing whether we can fine-tune the chemical signal to be even more effective,” Nelson said. “If we can, this could be a game-changer for farmers battling these weeds.” This research was ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

The finding of a new study could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders.

A new funding initiative from the National Natural Science Foundation of China provides a model of a targeted funding program in the area of signal transduction. Chemical biology has been ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...
