In a study published in Cell Reports Physical Science on Nov. 25, a research team reported the development of an innovative ...

Our cells need to be able to recognize potential invaders as a threat, the key function of the body's innate immune system.

It also includes specialised proteins in the cell cytoplasm that sense and act to destroy invaders. The innate immune system ...

While toxic in high concentrations, copper is essential to life as a trace element. Many tumors require significantly more copper than healthy cells for growth -- a possible new point of attack for ...

Differences in the ribosomal densities of the two daughters produced by a mother Escherichia coli could explain the asymmetry of aging and growth rate in previously reported such daughter pairs.

When a sperm cell fertilizes an egg, the resulting zygote has the genetic information from both cells but only cytoplasm—the substance that fills the cell—from the egg. That means that any of the ...

Unlike the main nucleus, micronuclei frequently rupture, releasing their DNA into the cytoplasm of the cell. This release causes DNA damage and genomic instability. It activates an immune response ...

Clinical trials are a significant part of the drug development cycle. However, the process has remained unchanged in recent ...

Trace Neuroscience has launched in the U.S. with over $100 million in financing and a goal to develop its UNC13A-targeted ...

These findings could pave the way for new treatment approaches for cancers driven by RAS mutations. Researchers at the ...
