Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Scientists at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST) have set ...

Mammalian oocytes utilize a conserved combination of cell cycle control, cytoskeletal organization, and polarity pathways that are fundamentally shared with other vertebrates and invertebrates.

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Dr Priyanka Dey has secured funding to develop a new technique that will give us a richer understanding of what cancer cells are made of and how they change as disease progresses ...

Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy represents a milestone in leukemia treatment. CAR T works by genetically ...

Postdoctoral researcher Mofizur Rahman from the University of Kansas discusses his work, which focuses on engineering ...

A new study from Scripps Research reveals how a key touch-sensing protein detects mechanical forces with remarkable precision. Each time something lightly presses against your skin, specialized sensor ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
