(2020-08-19)
[223Ra]RaCl2 dichloride treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is associated with improved overall survival (OS) and a delay in the time to the first ...
Shedding light on the role of cAMP in mammalian sperm physiology
(2018-06-15)
Mammalian fertilization relies on sperm finding the egg and penetrating the egg vestments. All steps in a sperm's lifetime crucially rely on changes in the second messenger cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). In recent ...
Elucidating cyclic AMP signaling in subcellular domains with optogenetic tools and fluorescent biosensors
(2019-11-14)
The second messenger 3´, 5´-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil ...
