New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens, understanding the plant's immune response is of ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Using a calcium indicator, the team uncovered novel cellular behaviors tied to electrical signaling, shedding light on how early multicellular organisms sensed and responded to environmental stimuli.

So, instead of consuming all your daily calcium needs in one meal, you should spread it out over the day with smaller ...

These disruptions in calcium signaling affect rotavirus disease severity, providing new insights into how NSP4's function influences rotavirus virulence. The findings suggest that manipulating ...

Developed by Northwestern Engineering’s Igor Efimov and George Washington University’s Luyao Lu, the implantable device uses ...

The study is among the first to show that the rotavirus protein NSP4 is both necessary and sufficient for multiple aspects of rotavirus infection by disrupting calcium signaling not only within ...

In this study, which appears in Nature, experiments showed that the gene mutation in a calcium signaling pathway enhances endosymbiosis in farming conditions. Excitingly, the team used genetic ...

Calcium is essential for strong bones, muscle function, and heart health. While many women get enough from their diet, those ...
