Rho GTPase Signaling in Apoptosis and Cell Motility

Rho GTPases are small molecular switches that coordinate the dynamic reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton to drive cell motility and to regulate programmed cell death. Members of the family such ...

Chemical Genetics Shows How “Undruggable” GTPases Can Be Targeted

Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered how to target a class of molecular switches called GTPases that are involved in a myriad of diseases—from Parkinson’s ...
