When a signaling molecule joins with an appropriate receptor on a cell surface, this binding triggers a chain of events that not only carries the signal to the cell interior, but amplifies it as well.

As these signaling molecules are so potent, their production is tightly regulated. What major molecules are involved? Normally, the precursor molecule arachidonic acid is stored as a component of ...

Researchers have previously identified a signal molecule, a protein by the name of PGC-1⍺, that seems to link exercise and its effects. However, whether an increased amount of this protein ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a delicate balance between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and extracellular ...
