In multicellular systems, force sensing, transduction and generation are fundamental processes that regulate development, tissue homeostasis, and disease progression. These processes operate across a ...
A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, ...
Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work ...
Cancer-fighting T cells do not simply "run out of energy." They are molecularly reprogrammed. For years, mitochondrial dysfunction has been recognized as a hallmark of exhausted T cells in tumors. Yet ...
The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...
Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...
Heat and drought stress are major environmental factors that severely limit crop growth, productivity, and global food security. As climate change ...
