Semaphorins are a group of secreted and membrane-associated molecules that play important roles in axon navigation.
Phyto-oxylipins are a group of biologically active molecules that play an important role in plant defense.
The neuroligin (NL) gene family codes for brain specific cell adhesion molecules that play an important role in synaptic connectivity.
Humic substances are an important class of organic molecules that play a vital role in both the carbon cycle and the biogeochemistry of virtually all metallic elements.
Eph receptors and ephrins belong to this special class of molecules that play important roles in both axon guidance and cancer.
Here we test the hypothesis that APP protein levels can be regulated by miRNAs, evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNA molecules that play an important role in regulating gene expression.
In a varied career, Graessley, who joined the Princeton faculty in 1987, spent a decade teaching chemical engineering students at Princeton about the characteristics of the ubiquitous molecules that play key roles in everything from biology to industrial plastics.
Now, a study led by scientists affiliated with the New Jersey Institute of Technology NJITT) has used circuit analysis to identify the molecules that play the biggest roles in cells' signaling pathways.
Strigolactones are signaling molecules that play a role in host recognition by parasitic plants of the Striga, Orobanche and Phelipanche genera which are among the most detrimental weeds in agriculture.
Such RNA molecules include transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and RNA molecules that play regulatory and catalytic roles.
Collectively, our results suggest a new link between these two important molecules that play essential roles for protein quality control, mitochondrial dynamics and cell signaling.
