Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a global health issue characterized by high mortality. The main targets for current therapies in PH focus on the prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and endothelin pathways.

The Wnt signaling pathway is critically involved in orchestrating cellular functions such as proliferation, migration, survival, and cell fate determination during development. Given its pivotal role ...

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, ...

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, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Stephen Miles is the Founder and CEO of The Miles Group. There are many leadership behaviors–the best leaders can draw upon and ...

In a recently published review, a research team led by MedUni Vienna has highlighted a promising new approach to drug discovery. The focus is on the targeted modulation of certain intracellular ...

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 ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme's "tail" called phosphorylation patterns. Scientists at St. Jude Children's ...

For decades, scientists have tried to answer a simple question: why be honest when deception is possible? Whether it is a peacock's tail, a stag's roar, or a human's résumé, signals are means to ...

For the last 4 years, residency applicants have been given the option to ‘signal’ their top program choices. The goal: Medical students are not submitting (or paying for) as many applications to ...

This week, we’ll take at look at the signaling system used by the PSTN as we begin to highlight some of the security concerns about networks moving toward a converged infrastructure. Today, we’ll ...
