Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...
Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins ...
It has long been known that our bodies derive energy from sugar. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...
Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of ...
UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.
Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...
On the flipside, if telomeres are too long, it can also spell trouble because cancer cells require long telomeres to become longer lived, ‘immortal,’” says Mia Levine, associate professor of biology ...
Entering a cell and watching its entire inner machinery at work, how DNA is copied, how proteins are assembled, or how it splits in two, has been, for decades, an impossible dream. Now, scientists at ...
Our limited understanding of the metabolism of our microbial ancestor is a sizeable gap in our knowledge of how complex life originated. Resolving whether our closest microbial relatives had ...
Kelly Chibale says that the hunt for new drugs is kind of like a fairy-tale quest. And it takes a lot of time and patience. "It doesn't mean that there aren't surprises or miracles," he says. "They do ...
