Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth ...

Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep to function properly. Some people can feel well-rested and show no negative effects of ...

Red-shifted chemigenetic biosensors enable sensitive, multiplexed detection of intracellular signaling in living cells across various subcellular compartments and microscopy setups. Viral ...

Dr. Pushkar Lele received a National Institute of General Medical Sciences research grant to investigate how bacteria sense their mechanical environment.

The findings highlight the significance of frequency-selective cellular responses in developmental biology, providing ...

investigates how bacteria sense their mechanical environment—termed mechanosensing—triggering intracellular signaling that leads to surface colonization. "Bacteria constantly sense mechanical ...

Mitochondria, traditionally acclaimed as the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells due to their role in ATP synthesis, are ...

Malfunctioning of genes related to Wnt, either Wnt proteins themselves, their receptors or intracellular signaling components, generates signaling problems between cells, and causes abnormal cell ...

The MPS is involved in various cellular processes, such as inter- and intracellular signaling. To date, many proteins have been identified that interact with the MPS, but the mechanisms underlying ...
