and to calcium ionophores and phorbol esters, which in combination elicited a full 'T cell–activation' response but individually could be used to distinguish signaling pathways activated by ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

Calcium signalling is activated by calcium ions that are released from intracellular stores, or enter the cell via plasma membrane ion channels. Calcium is an important second messenger that ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have improved our understanding of how rotavirus, ...

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

A team of UVM scientists led by University Distinguished Professor and Chair of Pharmacology Mark Nelson, Ph.D., from the ...

A biological mechanism makes plant roots more hospitable to microbes. Researchers at the John Innes Centre have identified a ...

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 ...

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens ...
