the mammalian clock relies on signaling from the retina to sense external lighting. A recent paper in Nature 1 shows for the first time that the anatomic pathway by which light reaches the clock ...
In contrast to hormone-hormone integration, recent data suggest that light and plant hormone pathways share common signaling components, which allows photoreceptors to influence the growth program.
It has been known that photoreceptors in animals detect light by using a signaling pathway named for the cell's origin. Photoreceptors of "microvillous" origin, similar to those in the fruit fly ...
Members of the program engage in research aimed at obtaining a mechanistic understanding of signal transduction and cellular regulation, which includes cellular signaling pathways and downstream ...
