Cellular Signaling Networks

Abstract

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I always dread writing about cellular signaling. It’s a fascinating topic, but it’s always fabulously complex. The stories are never straightforward. I’d like to write simple, understandable stories, like: “Bob sent Mary an invitation to a party, so she went.” Cellular signaling stories, on the other hand, end up more like: “Bob sent Mary an invitation to a party, but Sam cut off the bottom of it so she couldn’t read the date, but Sally showed Mary her invitation, but there was a power failure and Mary couldn’t read it, but Sean brought a flashlight, so she ended up going.”
