signaling pathway

(MedPage Today) -- A genomewide association study of Dupuytren's disease has implicated variants in a cancer-associated signaling pathway in the etiology of the condition, Dutch investigators reported.

(Burnham Institute) Gary Chiang, Ph.D., and colleagues at Burnham Institute for Medical Research have elucidated how the stability of the REDD1 protein is regulated.

The REDD1 protein is a critical inhibitor of the mTOR signaling pathway, which controls cell growth and proliferation.
