For instance, neurotransmitters are a class of short-range signaling molecules that travel across the tiny spaces between adjacent neurons or between neurons and muscle cells. Other signaling ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

Virtually every type of cell (other than red blood cells) produces one or more of these signaling molecules. Their very short half-lives means that they are very effective at signaling nearby ...

The Cell Identity and Signaling (CIS) Research Program is comprised of faculty members at Purdue University in the broad range of research areas from basic science studies using non-mammalian model ...

Members of the program engage in research aimed at obtaining a mechanistic understanding of signal transduction and cellular regulation, which includes cellular signaling pathways and downstream ...

Immune cells are capable of detecting infections ... when the receptor switches on a certain signaling pathway in which these ...

Despite the increasing knowledge of the molecular basis of tissue morphogenesis, how the activity of these signaling pathways is translated into changes in cell behavior and how cell shape changes ...
