The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ...

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is the proto-type member of a super family of secreted proteins comprised of several structurally related, but functionally divergent proteins like the BMP, activin, inhibin, mullerian ...

Signal transduction is a crucial event that enables cells to sense and respond to cues from their immediate environment. Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a member of the family of receptor guanylyl cyclases. GC-C is a single ...

The glycoprotein hormones, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are heterodimeric proteins with an identical α-subunit ...

The glycoprotein hormones, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are heterodimeric proteins with an identical α-subunit ...

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors and include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas. Astrocytomas have a high frequency of occurrence as compared to the other gliomas and several studies ...

The discovery of cyclic AMP (cAMP), nearly 50 years ago by Sutherland radically altered the appreciation of metabolic regulation. Since then the presence of cAMP and its tremendous physiological impact has been demonstrated ...

1. Despite extensive research on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), its five-year survival rate has not improved for the last two decades. Effective treatment of OSCC requires the identification of molecular targets to ...

Signal transduction is a mode of cellular communication essential for an organism’s sustenance and survival. Cell communication in higher organisms is largely executed by two classes of cell surface receptors i.e. G-protein ...
