When combined with drugs currently used to treat hepatitis C, the antiviral remdesivir is 10 times more effective in treating cells infected with SARS-CoV-2, the…
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute demonstrated for the first time that blocking “cell drinking,” or macropinocytosis, in the thick tissue surrounding a…
Researchers at Keck School of Medicine of USC develop signals that could bring color vision and improved clarity to prosthesis for the blind. There are…
The ability to culture coral cells could usher in a new era in coral biology research. Researchers have successfully grown cells from the stony coral,…
This full assembly may contain clues to ape and human divergence; certain immune, brain and heart disorders; and other biomedical questions. The full assembly of…
Researchers at Osaka University and JOANNEUM RESEARCH develop ultrathin self-powered e-health patches that can monitor a user’s pulse and blood pressure, which may lead to…
Membranes Unlock Potential to Vastly Increase Cell-Free Vaccine Production By cracking open a cellular membrane, Northwestern University synthetic biologists have discovered a new way to…
A good way to find out what a cell is doing—whether it is growing out of control as in cancers, or is under the control…
Everything is a canvas for senior Jessica Xu. A prolific artist, Xu has explored a number of media including pen and ink, colored pencil, and…
New research reveals how cancer cells endure stress and survive. Publishing in Molecular Cell, an international research team identified mechanisms that human and mouse cells…
