Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers have now structurally elucidated how these protein ...

Inositol phosphates are crucial secondary messengers that modulate a wide range of cellular processes, from energy metabolism to gene expression. These molecules, particularly inositol pyrophosphates, ...

Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

· Better growth, better results: Every cell type has its ideal pH — mammalian cells prefer about 7.4, while many plant cells ...

The journey started with an enigma in the zebrafish embryo: some endothelial cells, actively involved in the initial stages ...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease in which healthy lung tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue. While the early events that initiate this change are poorly understood, ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

STEM-engineered CAR T cells performed as well as or better against cancer cells than did FDA-approved CAR T cells and kept their cancer-fighting abilities for longer.

A new type of CAR T-cell therapy elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice, effectively killing cancer ...
