This comprehensive review synthesizes a decade of human and animal research to explain how the gut and brain communicate ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Scientists discovered a novel signaling pathway in liver cells, leading to a treatment for fibrosis. A healthy liver filters all the blood in your body, breaks down toxins and digests fats. It ...

A new study by Scripps Research reveals that alcohol dependence disrupts two signaling pathways in a stress-related part of the brain—and offers insights on developing drugs to treat this condition.

Glycine, a non-essential amino acid derived from serine, plays an increasingly recognized role in metabolic regulation.

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Using newly generated 'optogenetic' tobacco plants, research teams have investigated how plants process external signals. When it comes to survival, plants have a huge disadvantage compared to many ...

Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have identified novel mechanisms by ...
