Signal transduction The cellular process that converts a signal, such as a hormone, growth factor, neurotransmitter, cytokine, mechanical force, or environmental cue, into biochemical changes inside ...

Signal transduction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae orchestrates cellular responses to environmental cues via conserved modules. The pheromone response pathway uses G-protein-coupled receptors to activate ...

Multicellular organisms are composed of diverse cell types that must coordinate their behaviors through communication. Cell–cell communication (CCC) is essential for growth, development, ...

Animals depend on their sense of smell to locate food, identify mates and evade danger. In mammals, olfactory perception typically relies on G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. Insects, by ...
