Artificial Signal Transduction
Communication between and inside cells as well as their response to external stimuli relies on elaborated systems of signal transduction. They all require a directional transmission across membranes, often realized by primary messenger docking onto ...

The Multiple Regulatory Relationship Between RNA-Chaperone Hfq and the Second Messenger c-di-GMP
RNA chaperone protein Hfq is an important post-transcriptional regulator in bacteria, while c-di-GMP is a second messenger signaling molecule widely distributed in bacteria.

Nuclear expression of diacylglycerol kinases: possible involvement in DNA replication
The existence of intranuclear lipid-dependent signal transduction systems has been demonstrated by several independent groups. Remarkably, intranuclear lipid-dependent signal transduction pathways are regulated independently from their membrane/cytosolic

Reactive oxygen species in disease: Rebuttal of a conventional concept
The production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species has long been proposed as leading to the random deleterious modification of macromolecules (i.e., nucleic acids, proteins) with an associated progressive development of

Cellular Tolerance Induced by Chronic Opioids in the Central Nervous System
Opioids are powerful analgesics that elicit acute antinociceptive effects through their action the mu opioid receptor (MOR). However opioids are ineffective for chronic pain management, in part because continuous activation of MORs induces adaptive ...

Information Content in Stochastic Pulse Sequences of Intracellular Messengers
Many cell signaling pathways rely on oscillatory messenger concentrations even to transduce aperiodic environmental changes. The universal second messenger calcium, Ca2+ often exhibits pulsatile behavior in the presence of constant concentrations of ...
