Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict ...

The remote control doesn’t trigger the self-destruction of the CAR T cells, but simply prompts them to disengage from their cancerous targets.

A ketogenic diet—one that is high in fat and extremely low in carbohydrates—has been known for decades to reduce seizures in ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

A new CAR T therapy design uses the approved drug venetoclax to temporarily disengage engineered immune cells from tumors.

Among the most feared are the so-called ESKAPE pathogens, a rogues’ gallery of microbes that “escape” many treatments and drive stubborn hospital-acquired infections. One of them, Acinetobacter ...

Cancer is a universal issue that affects uncountably many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope that a surgeon will be able to completely remove a tumor, leaving healthy ...

Calling green fluorescent protein a model protein would also improve how biology is taught. Like classic model organisms, green fluorescent protein is safe and visual. It is also forgiving, producing ...
