Efficient communication between cells is vital for many biological processes, such as recruiting immune cells to combat disease. The rapid release of at least 80 signaling molecules, including tumor necrosis factor and epidermal growth factor, is controlled by a membrane-bound protease called ADAM17. Efficient communication between cells is vital for many biological processes, such as recruiting…
One day, wind turbines may float off the coasts of California and southern Oregon, providing clean, renewable energy to millions of homes. But before construction can start, researchers are studying how to minimize the potential wind farms’ impact on local wildlife. One day, wind turbines may float off the coasts of California and southern Oregon, providing…
