Turning down insulin signaling

655 In recent years, much has been written about the importance of diabetes mellitus, both as a cause of widespread morbidity and mortality and in terms of the resultant overwhelming health care costs. In an analysis of worldwide diabetes in 1994, the World Health Organization reported that the agestandardized prevalence in European populations varied from 3% to 10%, while more restricted popul...

Intracellular signalling: Turning down G-protein signals

The recently discovered family of proteins known as 'regulators of G-protein signalling' offers a solution to an important puzzle about the termination of signalling by G proteins and may also be important in more long-term modulation of signalling via G proteins.

Halotropism: Turning Down the Salty Date

Plants have a deep-rooted trust in gravity, but it is not unconditional. A new study shows that, if plant roots sense high doses of salt coming up from below, they dump gravity responses and grow away from the salt contamination.
