Signaling Networks

Signaling networks are a group of molecules, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, that relay signals between a cell and its environment. These networks are responsible for controlling almost all aspects of cellular behavior, including growth and differentiation, metabolism, and motility. By understanding how these networks interact, scientists can better understand how diseases, such as cancer, arise and develop and develop treatments to target them. Furthermore, in drug discovery, these networks are increasingly becoming a target for the development of novel and effective therapies.
