Imaging the link between metabotropic and ionotropic signaling in vivo KU Leuven
Cellular communication is a prerequisite for the life of multicellular organisms. Evolution has given rise to a variety of messenger systems that differ in speed and range. The communication between the outside and the inside of a cell is a key interface that is largely orchestrated by transmembrane receptors. This family of communication proteins can be roughly divided into two classes: 1) Metabotropic receptors, which trigger intracellular ...
