Abstract:
Efforts to stimulate STING signaling, thereby turning immunologically "cold" tumors "hot" and receptive to immunotherapy, are gaining ground in the industry. To date, directly targeting the STING receptor with synthetic ligands is the main approach to have entered clinical trials, but indirect small-molecule modulators of the pathway are also being pursued.

Fixed Action Patterns
17.7K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Action Potential
4.8K
Neurons communicate by firing action potentials—the electrochemical signal that is propagated along the axon. The signal results in the release of neurotransmitters at axon terminals, thereby transmitting information to the nervous system. An action potential is a specific "all-or-none" change in membrane potential that results in a rapid spike in voltage.
