Brain cells grow faster in children with some forms of autism due to distinct changes in core cell signaling patterns, according to research from the laboratory of Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD, ...

An analysis of how brains with different forms of autism develop has revealed common underlying mechanisms that may respond to existing medications. An analysis of how brains with different forms of ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Scientists discovered a novel signaling pathway in liver cells, leading to a treatment for fibrosis. A healthy liver filters all the blood in your body, breaks down toxins and digests fats. It ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
