Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Yale researchers have uncovered a way to make a type of white blood cells known as natural killer cells — which kill infected, damaged, or malignant cells in the body — more effective against cancer.

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity.

When cells can’t destroy damaged proteins, a hidden backup system led by NRF1 steps in to prevent toxic buildup.

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful ...
