Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

cases an external molecule dramatically affects cellular function. Our goal in studying any of these processes is the same: a molecule-by-molecule accounting of information transfer in biological ...

This paper describes the isolation, cloning, and molecular characterization of a receptor molecule for calcium ions located on the outer surface of certain types of cells. The reason it has received ...

In the first published real use of high-throughput RNAi screening in a laboratory setting, a group of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, has identified novel negative and ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have identified a protein that plays a central role in enabling aggressive ...

Uveitis, which accounts for 10%–15% of blindness cases in developed nations and 25% in developing regions, represents a ...
