A groundbreaking cancer drug has been developed that targets and destroys solid tumours without harming healthy cells.

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine ...

A new study in Nature shows that one specific lipid type is essential for cancer immune evasion--so much so that certain ...

For the first time, researchers have measured how energy forms different wave patterns in the cell’s outer membrane and its ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between ...

New study demonstrates that one type of lipid is so critical for immune evasion that certain cancers cannot proliferate without them. Modulating intake of dietary lipids could open up an avenue for ...

Barquera has been awarded a grant of nearly $3.3 million over five years from the National Institute of Health's National ...

At a microscopic scale, only natural motors have existed in organisms such as archae. Now, researchers have built such motors ...

It is crucial for organisms to be able to control which genes are expressed in which cells and when. Naturally occurring chemical modifications of DNA-binding histone proteins are believed to play an ...

Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run ...

Cancer cells seldom start off stealthy. Quite to the contrary, they announce their presence to the immune system by planting chemical red flags right on their membranes. Once alerted, the body's ...

Scientists have long known that cancer cells alter lipid metabolism, but it was generally assumed that cancer cells were ...
