Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their ...

Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Ultimately, the gel-first hypothesis does not claim to provide a definitive answer to the origin of life. Rather, it offers a conceptual framework—one that integrates soft-matter physics, systems ...

Researchers have identified a biological mechanism that helps explain why some lung and ovarian cancers become resistant to ...

A long-standing mystery in bile acid biology has been solved. Bile acids are often introduced as digestion helpers, but they are also powerful chemical messengers that help coordinate metabolism ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between two proteins that helps keep a critical cellular recycling system in balance ...
