For instance, neurotransmitters are a class of short-range signaling molecules that travel across the tiny spaces between adjacent neurons or between neurons and muscle cells. Other signaling ...

Virtually every type of cell (other than red blood cells) produces one or more of these signaling molecules. Their very short half-lives means that they are very effective at signaling nearby ...

The Cell Identity and Signaling (CIS) Research Program is comprised of faculty members at Purdue University in the broad range of research areas from basic science studies using non-mammalian model ...

Cell-signaling networks involve many distinct steps and are also greatly influenced by the complex, three-dimensional shapes of cells and subcellular components, making them difficult to simulate ...

Cell physiology. Combining unique experimental tools and a passion for knowledge, the researchers from the Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism investigate key questions i ...

Members of the program engage in research aimed at obtaining a mechanistic understanding of signal transduction and cellular regulation, which includes cellular signaling pathways and downstream ...

Immune cells are capable of detecting infections ... when the receptor switches on a certain signaling pathway in which these ...
