Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a surprising link between a tiny cellular engine and the way cancer cells build the DNA they need to proliferate, according to a new study published in ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

In certain contexts, the Notch receptor may participate in “reverse signaling,” influencing neighboring cells directly.

"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and keep our cells healthy. Now, however, it seems these repair processes can ...

Researchers at the University of Houston are pushing the boundaries of biomedical innovation with a discovery that could transform treatment for one of cancer's most devastating complications. In a ...

Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated “molecular markers” —observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks—that are shared by several forms of dementia ...

A new technology is poised to transform the discovery of microbial species and enzymes with specific in situ metabolic functions. The technology, FISH-scRACS-seq (Fluorescence In Situ ...

Apoptosis is a process in which cells die off, intentionally. This programmed cell death pathway helps eliminate billions of cells every day, most of which are blood or gut cells, so they can be ...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can ...
