New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered a crucial piece in the puzzle of how all animals with a ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones first emerged and became so diverse.

Researchers identify bone-forming cells as the driver of scoliosis caused by a genetic disorder, which can be prevented ...

Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

A new study has found that MET (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) signaling plays a critical protective role in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (ALF). This pathway is shown to work as a ...

Human cells decode dynamics Wnt signals using an anti-resonant filter that suppresses intermediate-frequency inputs and is ...

Aging immune cells may be sabotaging the body from within. Researchers found that macrophages produce a protein that locks ...

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, ...
