The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) have developed ...
To function normally, nearly every cell in the human body relies on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to receive and send ...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.
Phosphoinositides are a family of membrane lipids distinguished by phosphate groups at specific positions on the inositol ring, acting as spatial and temporal organisers of cell activity. Through ...
In a recently published review, a research team led by MedUni Vienna has highlighted a promising new approach to drug discovery. The focus is on the targeted modulation of certain intracellular ...
Phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes constitute a pivotal hub in cellular signalling by hydrolysing the membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP₂) to generate the second messengers ...
Ribosomes don’t just make proteins—they can sense when something’s wrong. When they collide, they send out stress signals that activate a molecule called ZAK. Researchers uncovered how ZAK recognizes ...
Plant immunity research has undergone a transformative shift with the advent of spatial and single-cell technologies, ...
