Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human ...

A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

When cells can’t destroy damaged proteins, a hidden backup system led by NRF1 steps in to prevent toxic buildup.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH have developed a computational method that can reveal how cells change and ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign antigens that are expressed by invading bacteria and viruses from self-antigens that are expressed by cells of the body. If not, the ...

New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

Moreover, bulk sequencing data led scientists to conclude that brown and beige fat cells express uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1), which encodes the protein UCP1 that halts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ...
