New data on signaling proteins, called G proteins, may prove important in fighting diseases such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. For many decades scientists have wondered how signaling proteins transport and organize in specific areas of the cell. Researchers have just provided new, still unrecognized, clues to solve this mystery.
