Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition, ...

Glioma remains one of the deadliest brain cancers, characterized by aggressive growth and limited treatment options. In a new study, researchers from Ningxia Medical University uncovered that choline ...

Brain cells grow faster in children with some forms of autism due to distinct changes in core cell signaling patterns, according to research from the laboratory of Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD, ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3, work together to ...

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...

A common cell signaling pathway that controls differentiation of stem cells may also control the formation of tumor cells in fat, according to a Purdue University study. This signaling pathway, called ...

Researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have identified a cell surface receptor ...
