When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

Study findings map out a new way in which antiviral signals engage with cellular metabolism to balance defense and repair.

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...
