Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Drawing inspiration from natural cell signaling cascades, chemists at Université de Montréal (UdeM) have developed a DNA-based signaling cascade that allows them to quantify and report via an easily ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Pools of stem cells in the apical meristems of plants are key to continued growth and development. Understanding how these stem cells are maintained and balanced against ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

Scientists have identified mutations in the CPD gene as a key cause of a rare congenital hearing loss, revealing how ...

Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is primarily caused by oncogenesis mediated by ultraviolet radiation, and β-human papillomavirus (β-HPV) is believed to be a mere facilitator that is ...
