The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

New research out of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine describes a mechanism by which an essential quality control system in cells identifies and destroys faulty genetic material. The ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

Schematic of synthetic protocells: Upon activation with a light pulse, synthetic cell organelles release substance A. The substance enters the receiver protocell and its synthetic organelle containing ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...

MELBOURNE: An international team of scientists has discovered a new way immune cells recognize molecules in the body, ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
