In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

The test relies on a magnetic nanoparticle linked to fluorescent molecules to detect pancreatic cancer proteins.

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their ...

Molecular communications in the bloodstream is a promising area of research, since the bloodstream has the ability to ...

A cardiac surgery and heart failure team at the University of Michigan implanted a novel mechanical heart pump into a patient as part of a clinical trial that will compare it to the only device ...

Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

A recent study presents a new way to understand life by describing it as a cascade of machines producing machines, spanning ...

One of the most significant challenges in cancer treatment is the development of drug resistance by cancer cells, which often leads to treatment failure. When we say the body "resists" cancer ...

Cell death is achieved by two fundamentally different mechanisms: apoptosis and necrosis. Apoptosis is dependent on caspase activation, whereas the caspase-independent necrotic signaling pathway ...

Mitochondria, often seen as cellular powerhouses, play a surprising role in immune regulation. Researchers found that ...
