Angiogenesis contributes fundamentally to embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and wound healing. Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is recognized as the first proangiogenic molecule ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

How a non-signaling receptor regulates pain signals In a series of studies using mouse and human neurons, the researchers discovered a new receptor for nerve growth factor: neuropilin-1 (NRP1), a ...
