Light-activated molecular machines make cells 'talk': Mechanical control of vital cellular processes could revolutionize drug design

One of the main ways cells «talk» to each other to coordinate essential biological activities such as muscle contraction, hormone release, nerve cell activation, digestion, and immune activation is through calcium signal. According to a new study published in the American Journal of Science and Technology, Rice University scientists used light-activated molecular machines to trigger … Leer más
