Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

A long-standing belief about HIV has quietly shaped how scientists think about the virus. For decades, researchers described ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have identified the method by which cells control the recycling of molecules, a process that is essential for them to move. The discovery provides ...

Scientists have learned how a gene widely known for precisely positioning and sculpting various organs also controls the speed of cell division, a finding that could be useful for understanding the ...

Researchers from University College London have devised a new way by which they could decipher the language cancer cells use to communicate among themselves. They found this unique method of ...

Researchers have found that a deeper look at proteins and cells may help explain why prostate cancer tumors often become resistant to hormone therapy. Researchers found that looking at cell patterns ...

The surfaces of cells are decorated with receptors, and the interactions between receptors and their binding partners are involved in a huge variety of pathways and processes. Some pathogenic bacteria ...

Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...

A study published in Science Advances shares new insights into how two of the most common types of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells kill cancer. Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, ...

In people with chronic heart failure, the heart doesn't pump blood as effectively as it should. This leaves the patient weak, tired, and short of breath. The disease is life-threatening, and around ...
