Purinergic signaling, mediated by extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP, has been increasingly studied for its role in regulating cellular communication. A new review by researchers in ...

Calcium is widely known for its role in maintaining strong bones and teeth, but it is also one of the body's most important ...

Indian elephants have larger brains than we do (obviously). Mice have a higher brain-to-body mass ratio, and long-finned pilot whales have more neurons. So what makes humans—and more specifically, ...

SMART, a new software package, can make studying signaling processes significantly easier. Results could accelerate research in fields across the life sciences, such as systems biology, pharmacology ...

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, ...
