Essential nutrient passes between cells via ‘jumping genes.’ Your gut bacteria need vitamin B12 just as much as you do. Though DNA is usually passed…
Salk researchers pinpoint a sound-sensitive mammalian protein that lets them activate brain, heart or other cells with ultrasound. Salk scientists have engineered mammalian cells to…
For the first time, a molecular movie has captured in detail the process of an anion transported across the cell membrane by a light-fuelled protein…
Membranes are crucial to our cells. Every cell in your body is enclosed by one. And each of those cells contains specialized compartments, or organelles,…
Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute, Harvard Medical School, and the ETH Zurich predict and validate genomic safe harbors for therapeutic genes, enabling safer, more efficient,…
The level of magnesium in the blood is an important factor in the immune system’s ability to tackle pathogens and cancer cells. Writing in the…
Technology breakthrough has potential to transform wide range of disciplines from immunology and genomics research to cell-based therapeutics. BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX),…
A study published by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago describes a new method for analyzing pyroptosis — the process of cell death that…
Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering studies hope to find drugs that work against variants. Many treatments for COVID-19 focus on the spike protein that the…
Extra chromosome alters chromosomal conformation and DNA accessibility in neural progenitor cells; study establishes senescence as a potentially targetable mechanism for future treatment. In Down…
From our first breath, our lungs are exposed to microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. Thanks to immune cells in the lungs, so-called macrophages, we…
Hemp compounds identified by Oregon State University research via a chemical screening technique invented at OSU show the ability to prevent the virus that causes…
Cranial neural crest cells, or CNCCs, contribute to many more body parts than their humble name suggests. These remarkable stem cells not only form most…
New molecular pathway controls blood glucose, circumventing insulin resistance. The discovery of insulin 100 years ago opened a door that would lead to life and…
Neuroscientists uncover how the brain perceives sensory information – and how this process can malfunction. The brain is the most complex organ in our body…
Shifting transmission of physical stimuli plays key role in cell differentiation. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered how the sponginess and stickiness of stem…
A new study shows how cell membranes curve to create the “mouths” that allow the cells to consume things that surround them. “Just like our…
