Harmful microorganisms such as bacteria represent one of the largest threats to human health. Efficient sterilization methods ...

In addition, the cells use an NADPH oxidase (an enzyme in the cell membrane) to release reactive oxygen species as further signaling molecules, which then interact with the calcium signals to ...

A Rac GTPase–regulated multiprotein NADPH oxidase is critical for the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in phagocytic leukocytes and other nonphagocytic cells. NADPH oxidase reduces ...
