Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series ...

There is a trial of strength at the cellular level. Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate ...

When the electrical signal reaches the end of one nerve cell, it is converted into a biochemical signal, in the form of calcium. In turn, an increase in calcium triggers the release of signaling ...

Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth ...

He suggested that these quantum effects might be playing a role in maintaining the genetic stability in living organisms.

New research challenges the classical interpretation of cell competition, revealing the importance of mechanical force.

To understand signal processing, it is not sufficient to have detailed biochemical information on each individual protein in a signaling network. Rather, one needs to study how extracellular ...

2000). We subsequently found further interplay between TGF-β signaling and protein degradation mechanisms (Wang et al., 2004, MacDonald et al., 2004). More recently, we have sought to determine the ...

We are now investigating the biochemical actions and anti-tumor activities of the ... and are sensitive to specific inhibitors of PI3K or AKT. Inhibition of PI3K signaling in tumors has metabolic, pro ...
