Candida albicans cells respond in two distinct ways to fluconazole exposure where cells enter the Ribo-dominant state characterized by an upregulation of ribosomal-related proteins and processes, or cells enter the Stress-dominant state characterized by the upregulation of stress responses.

Genetic and proteomic analyses reveal that the SPARK kinase, which is a regulator of key life-cycle transitions in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, complexes with an elongin-like protein to regulate several important AGC-family kinases.

Increases of extracellular potassium silence capillary pericyte calcium signaling, suggesting a participation of capillary pericytes in the potassium-mediated neurovascular communication.

Overexpression of hAC8 engages complex, coordinate adaptation 'circuity' that has evolved in mammalian cells to defend against stress that threatens health or life, and may be important for proper healing in disease states such as heart infarction or failure.
