Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

T cell immunotherapies are on the cutting-edge of cancer treatments, but a full understanding of how they work has been ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals - small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed ...

The most diverse functions of a cell in the human body – from cell division and differentiation to motility and programmed cell death – are controlled by signaling proteins within the cell. This ...
