Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in the tissue around oral cancers both increases nerve sensitivity and ...

P-cadherin is a protein commonly found on malignant cancer cells and has been used as a target for antibody-based cancer treatments. UC Davis biomedical engineers have discovered that when an antibody ...

In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling mechanism that takes place outside the cell, flipping on a 'pain switch.' This ...

This summer, over 50 researchers in the NSF EMBRIO Institute convened to share their newest findings on cellular signaling and organization that drives wound repair, cellular defense, and organismal ...

Researchers uncover a hidden nanoscale mechanism critical for Met receptor activation, providing a new blueprint for targeted ...

The rapid influx of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and protein solutes released during cortical spreading depression (CSD) in the brain activates neurons to trigger aural migraine headaches, according to ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

A new method exposes key details of the mechanism behind calcium signaling in prokaryotes for the first time. Working in a Listeria monocytogenes model, researchers from Umeå University (Sweden) led ...

Leaf senescence determines the duration of photosynthesis, nutrient remobilization efficiency, and ultimately crop yield and quality. Cytokinins are well known for delaying senescence by maintaining ...
