Yeast filamentous growth is a highly regulated cellular differentiation response, enabling cells to assume an elongated morphology when confronted with environmental stress or nutrient limitation.

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

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

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, ...

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the ...

A special protein can play a key role in the fight against certain types of prostate cancer. This is shown in a study by an international research group led from Umeå University, Sweden. Until now, ...

A recent study reveals how plants activate a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-driven signaling pathway to adapt to low nitrate conditions. Researchers identified RBOHC as the primary ROS producer, which ...

Small molecules that spur cells to degrade a key growth-driving protein could offer a new tactic to combat tumors In the age of precision medicine, targeted drugs are transforming cancer treatment.
