In cell signaling, calcium is king. The flux of calcium ions across cell membranes regulates cellular activities from muscle contraction to neuron firing to immune cell function. A talk I saw here at ...
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the portion of the cell responsible for manufacturing and folding proteins. Proteins are essential for a wide range of cellular functions—as enzymes, transporters, ...
Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...
A new method exposes key details of the mechanism behind calcium signaling in prokaryotes for the first time. Working in a Listeria monocytogenes model, researchers from Umeå University (Sweden) led ...
To acquire an image of calcium signaling, Reto Fiolka, a cell biologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, illuminated primary cortical neurons from embryonic rats with three ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University study shows that Notch signaling, a key biological pathway tied to development and cell communication, also plays an important role in the onset of obesity ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have improved our understanding of how rotavirus, ...

N-myristoylation on glycine is an irreversible modification that has long been recognized to govern protein localization and function. In contrast, the biological roles of lysine myristoylation remain ...
