When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Research at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) reveals that autonomous parvoviruses, such as canine parvovirus, are highly capable of affecting the internal balance of the nucleolus. The results ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have uncovered how chronic inflammation disrupts the immune ...

Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between two proteins that helps keep a critical cellular recycling system in balance ...

Scientists have identified a mirror-image form of the amino acid cysteine that selectively slows the growth of certain ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for ...

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon. Keratinocyte stem cells (KSCs) are the principal drivers of epidermal renewal, barrier maintenance, and wound repair. Their ability ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.
