Cell Signaling – News and Features

New research has revealed that a type of drug commonly used to treat heart disease, asthma and thrombosis, also stimulates bone growth – suggesting that these drugs could be repurposed for treating skeletal growth disorders.

Researchers have demonstrated the effectiveness of treating aged mice with a naturally occurring lipid, Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which improved muscle regeneration and strength in older animals.

Researchers have elucidated at least one mechanism of breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. With the discovery, they may have also uncovered how short chains of protein building blocks could serve as a novel anticancer drug.

Researchers have discovered a new cell signaling pathway involved in ovulation, a potential target for future research on infertility, contraception and ovarian disease.

Researchers at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin look for new cancer diagnostic procedures. The result is an AI model that makes use of the specific characteristics in the genetic material of tumors.

Researchers have identified how cells pattern themselves to allocate space for organoid growth as conditions change.

MN1, a gene originally associated with brain tumors, evolved hundreds of millions of years ago to control brain and skull development.

Researchers have mapped metabolic enzyme dysregulation in cells following a high-fat diet, associating these changes with weight gain.

University of Michigan researchers have identified herpes virus saimiri, which infects the T cells of squirrel monkeys, as a source of proteins that activate pathways in T cells that are needed to promote T cell survival.

Researchers introduced three TRIO gene variants into mice, showing how each mutation led to brain size reduction and altered behavior, with differences in neuronal signaling via Rac1 activity.
