Steroid hormones regulate many physiological processes in vertebrates, nematodes and arthropods through binding to nuclear receptors (NR), a metazoan-specific family of ligand-activated ...

Salk Scientists Untangle Steroid Hormone Signaling In Plants Date: May 4, 2006 ... "All the players are old acquaintances and we knew from genetic studies that they were involved in this pathway.

"Basically, we uncovered the universal pathway, how steroid hormones can alter the function of our organisms in quite a fast and efficient way. So the classical mechanism of how a steroid hormone ...

A key missing link in the so-called signaling pathway for plant steroid hormones has been discovered by researchers at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology. Many important ...

Their latest work now reveals that a plant membrane receptor requires a helper protein to sense a growth-promoting steroid hormone and to transduce this signal across the cell membrane. LLR domain of ...

In a paper published in the May 4, 2006, issue of the journal Nature, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists report they have deciphered the signaling pathway for a key class of steroid ...

Salk scientists untangle steroid hormone signaling in plants Peer -Reviewed ... "All the players are old acquaintances and we knew from genetic studies that they were involved in this pathway.

Little is known about the mechanisms that regulate the release of steroid hormones from endocrine tissues. The commonly accepted understanding, noted in textbooks, is that simple diffusion is at work.

In a study with important consequences for studies on the effects of chemicals on steroid responses in humans, a team of French and American scientists, including Michael E. Baker, PhD, professor ...

Synthetic chemicals and plastics are useful and indispensable in our lives. On the other hand, the world is grappling with ...

Cancer is crafty. When one avenue driving its growth is blocked by drugs targeting that path, the malignancy often creates a detour, finding an alternative route to get around the roadblock.
