A precision-engineered decapeptide reshaping how researchers approach melanogenesis modulation at the enzymatic level.

Ten years of substantial work by Université de Montréal immunologist Nathalie Labrecque's team at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) and the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Research Center ...

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or ...

Plants mobilize their immune defenses far earlier than scientists have believed for decades—and through a previously overlooked early signaling mechanism—according to a new study published in Nature ...

The rapid influx of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and protein solutes released during cortical spreading depression (CSD) in the brain activates neurons to trigger aural migraine headaches, according to ...

Retinal degeneration leads to irreversible vision loss, significantly impacting quality of life. Approximately 19.83 million Americans over 40 have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...

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 ...
