University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering researchers point to macrophages. When a virus makes its way into a person’s body, one of the…
Many of us learned the basic cell structure at some point and will recall components like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, and nucleus. However, the…
Molecular machines that kill infectious bacteria have been taught to see their mission in a new light. New nanoscale drills have been developed that are…
Discovery of ‘yoyo’ mechanism could pave the way for generating artificial oocytes in the lab. A potential new diagnostic marker that predicts the successful and…
Cells may use this strategy to clear out toxic byproducts and give their offspring a fresh start. MIT scientists have discovered that before cells start…
Research from the University of Warwick reveals new insights on a key cause of cancer formation during cell division (or mitosis), and points towards potential…
International scientific consortium, the SpatioTemporal Omics Consortium (STOC), produces the first spatiotemporal maps of cellular dynamics in mice, Drosophila, zebrafish, and Arabidopsis, using BGI-Research’s world-leading…
A study led by researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Kent uncovers how the genome three-dimensional structure of male…
Phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid, is essential for epithelial cell-cell adhesion and maintaining cellular identity. Body cells in multicellular organisms adhere to one another to…
Your immune system’s ability to fight COVID-19, like any infection, largely depends on its ability to replicate the immune cells effective at destroying the SARS-CoV-2…
University of California Riverside-led study identifies how blood stem cells maintain their fate. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the identities of the…
Surprising research findings in mice could lead to new insights and treatments for a wide range of brain and neurological diseases, from epilepsy to Alzheimer’s….
Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of cell death that takes place in the guts of the common fruit fly. The researchers believe the…
What happens below the cellular level when the heart contracts and relaxes has long been unexplored. Thanks to new ultra-high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, scientists can…
Like humans, bacteria have various immune systems to defend against pathogens such as viruses. These immune systems usually degrade the DNA of the pathogens to…
The MIT biologist Yukiko Yamashita’s research has shed light on the immortality of germline cells and the function of “junk DNA.” When cells divide, they…
Increased levels of blood fats in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity are more harmful than previously thought, a new study has found. In…
