Rodbell: Discovering How Cells Respond to Signals (Exhibit)
- An online exhibit about the work of Martin Rodbell and his colleagues in discovering a mechanism that transformed our understanding of how cells respond to signals. In a series of pioneering experiments conducted here at the NIH, Rodbell studied hormones--substances which have specific effects on cells' activity. He could not have predicted the broad impact his findings would have. (DeWitt Stetten, Jr., Museum of Medical Research) (Office of NIH History)
