Blood vessel cells keep fixed signaling roles for weeks, reshaping view of capillary communication

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood flow, sense physical forces and keep vessel walls intact. Scientists have ...

Engineered calcium switches allow for more precise control over cell signalling

Researchers at Texas A&M Health and collaborators have developed engineered CRAC channel inhibitory binders that can ...

By making key signaling molecules called β-arrestins into druggable targets, scientists crack long-standing challenge

To function normally, nearly every cell in the human body relies on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to receive and send ...
