The intricate regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) underpins a vast array of cellular responses that are essential for growth, differentiation and survival. In particular, the interplay ...

When 200 natural accessions of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a nitrate-enriched medium were compared, one observation stood out: some ...

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 ...

In the human body, molecules known as kinases propagate signals within and between cells, relaying signals that allow cells to respond to changes in the environment. But there are hundreds of ...

A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

This review examines how GLP-1 receptor agonists may influence neurodegenerative disease biology through metabolic, ...

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that regulates signaling pathways controlling cell survival and proliferation. Dysregulation of FGFR2, through ...

The field of plant stress biology has become increasingly crucial as climate change drives heightened frequencies and severities of abiotic stresses such as ...

A new study has found that MET (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) signaling plays a critical protective role in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (ALF). This pathway is shown to work as a ...
