Cell-communication molecules called kinases play a key role in the growth and spread of many cancers. But exactly which ...

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 ...

A molecular pathway known for controlling cell shape and movement also helps regulate the rhythm by which the vertebrate body ...

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 ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme's "tail" called phosphorylation patterns. Scientists at St. Jude Children's ...

Researchers at the University Hospital of Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have identified a previously unknown ...

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be precisely amplified to mount an effective defense against invasive threats. New ...

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that a naturally occurring hormone best known for suppressing appetite and ...

“These proteins act as molecular instructions that tell stem cells when and how to develop into heart muscle cells. However, ...

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that a naturally occurring hormone best known for suppressing appetite and promoting weight loss also helps protect the liver from inflammation ...
