G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundantly expressed proteins in the human body, regulating diverse physiological processes ranging from pain perception to hormone signaling. Owing to ...
Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch ...
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) binds the serine protease urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA; also known as urokinase) and also activates intracellular signalling ...
Signalling receptors are rapidly endocytosed following activation and then move through a series of endosomal compartments. A common property of signalling receptor endocytosis is the efficient ...
In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this ...

Neurons transmit information to the next cell by converting electrical signals into chemical signals. A critical step in this ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have uncovered a regulatory mechanism for signaling of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), ...
A study showed that disrupting autophagy in high endothelial venules reduced immune cell recruitment and eased psoriasis in ...
Skeletal muscle undergo remarkable changes during aging including anatomical, ultrastructural, and moreover biochemical. The aging associated reduction of muscle mass, t ...
Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients-amino acids in particular-are available, cells flip this switch on and begin to grow. Researchers at KAIST and Yonsei University have now ...
