A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a ...

In multicellular organisms, growth factors, hormones, neurotransmitters, and extracellular matrix components are some of the many types of chemical signals cells use. These substances can exert ...

Rice lab pioneers an assembly kit for synthetic sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. Rice University bioengineers have ...

A study confirms the positive effects of exercise on insulin signaling proteins in the brain. A study led by researchers ...

Meanwhile, signaling molecules relay positional information among the cells in a tissue, as well as between these cells and the extracellular matrix. These signaling pathways are critical to ...

1 How Does Quorum Sensing Work? Quorum sensing is mediated by bacteria producing, releasing, and detecting extracellular signaling molecules called autoinducers. Typically, when individual bacteria ...

Using AI, Jahed, Rahmani and colleagues developed a method to correlate extracellular signals with specific intracellular signals. To develop the new method, the team first engineered an array of ...

with its signaling diversity owing to the many substrates of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK). AF6 denotes afadin, GAP GTPase-activating protein, GEF guanine exchange factor, MEK mitogen ...

While extracellular signals can be captured with less invasive methods, they do not provide much detail about the cell's electrical activity. "It is like listening to a conversation through a wall ...

These particles, called extracellular vesicles, are considered attractive vehicle models for new drug therapies. But until now, researchers haven't had the complete picture of how they work.

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease ...

A study led by scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has shown that specialized cells involved in how the body responds to insulin are activated in the brain after exercise, ...
