Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth ...
This usually arises either from a loss of key signaling molecules in the TGF-β signal transduction pathway (e.g., TGF-β receptors ... tumor suppressor genes which cause the cell to stop proliferation ...
The signaling pathway, which is mediated by the protein GP130, plays a central role in cell communication and influences the activity of the transcription factor STAT3, which in turn is associated ...
