Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

A new study has made a major breakthrough in understanding ferroptosis, a form of cell death that involves the depletion of glutathione (a master antioxidant responsible for protecting against ...

Most biological chemistry research has historically focused on the obvious cogs of machinery that keep life moving. Folding proteins, genetic activity and electrical signaling pathways are the easiest ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

A basic function of cells is that they act in response to their environments. It makes sense, then, that a goal of scientists is to control that process, making cells respond how they want to what ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8 + T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies. However, the factors and ...

Osaka, Japan – Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics accurately, at high spatial resolution, ...

Researchers created a cryo-optical microscopy method that freezes live cells in milliseconds, enabling multi-mode imaging of fast cellular events. (Nanowerk News) Optical microscopy is a key technique ...

Scientists have developed an AI tool that creates detailed models of cellular metabolism, making it easier to understand how cells function. Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce ...
