Researchers uncover the proteins involved in key communication networks, which could help us better understand conditions like cancer and obesity. Our many different organ systems are in constant communication with each other. During exercise, for example, muscles send out signals to fat and liver tissue to release their energy sources. While these communication networks play a critical role in our bodies every day, it has been historically difficult to uncover such pathways...
