Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that works like internal “trade winds,” rapidly carrying essential proteins to the cell’s ...

A long-standing belief about HIV has quietly shaped how scientists think about the virus. For decades, researchers described ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

Researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain's ...

Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer in adults. It starts in the white blood cells that are responsible ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have identified the method by which cells control the recycling of molecules, a process that is essential for them to move. The discovery provides ...

Researchers have found that a deeper look at proteins and cells may help explain why prostate cancer tumors often become resistant to hormone therapy. Researchers found that looking at cell patterns ...

A study published in Science Advances shares new insights into how two of the most common types of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells kill cancer. Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These “cellular winds” push materials to the front of the cell, ...
