This month's cover highlights the article Nup358 restricts ER-mitochondria connectivity by modulating mTORC2/Akt/GSK3β signalling by Joseph, Misha Kalarikkal and colleagues. The image shows a human ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD), or the narrowing of the coronary arteries, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque in the ...

Specifically, Auletta highlights the emerging science in stem cell transplants and cell therapies, including treatments like chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. He also discussed topics ...

This indicates that GLP-1 receptor agonists lead to greater reduction in overall body fat than that in muscle mass, resulting in an overall body fat percentage decrease of around 4.5%.

Excessive activation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors after cerebral ischemia is a key cause of ischemic injury. For a long time, it was generally accepted that calcium influx is a ...

Signal transduction at vertebrate excitatory synapses involves the rapid activation of AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate) receptors, glutamate-gated ion channels whose four ...

Figure 1. Signal transduction mechanism of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) transactivation by angiotensin II (AngII) in vascular smooth muscle cells leading to vascular remodeling. Please note ...

Kainate receptors (KARs) are a subfamily of glutamate receptors mediating excitatory synaptic transmission and Neto proteins are recently identified auxiliary subunits for KARs. However, the roles of ...

The cerebral cortex and basal ganglia (BG) form a neural circuit that is disrupted in disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. We found that neuronal activity (c-Fos) in the BG followed cortical ...
