In normal cells, Pten regulates a critical signaling pathway called PI3K, which influences many aspects of cell growth and survival.
Recent animal studies, however, have suggested that blocking an immune pathway called JAK might be effective in treating alopecia.
This newly-discovered molecular pathway, called mitoCPR, detects import mishaps and preserves mitochondrial function in the midst of such stress.
The BRCA1 protein is a key tumour suppressor, and is essential for a DNA-repair pathway called homology-directed repair.
It has been demonstrated that the mutant huntingtin protein interacts with the protein caveolin-1 (cav1), a key molecule in a different endocytotic pathway (called caveolar-related endocytosis).
The pathway, called MK2, is generally believed to promote cell death and produces cell-to-cell communication factors involved in inflammation-based tissue destruction.
As cells consume glucose, they can change it through a metabolic pathway called glycolysis into a different carbon-based molecule called pyruvate (Figure 1).
The role of PTCs in NITC suggested the involvement of an RNA-degradation pathway called nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD), because NMD is also triggered by PTCs7.
Ceramic materials such as oxides and carbides with a controlled design were synthesized using an original pathway called reactive replica process.
Researchers have long known that a pathway called the high vocal center, or H.V.C., controls adult song, but whether that same pathway is responsible for babbling and changes as the bird ages has been an open question.
Layer 5/6 cells form a pathway called the corticospinal tract, which projects down into the spinal cord and forms connections with motor neurons in the spinal cord, and these in turn connect to muscle cells.
