In their new study, the LJI scientists are the first to show that GPR25 is induced by a signaling molecule called TGF-β.

Mechanical damage to the cell membrane was previously believed to trigger two simple cellular outcomes: recovery or death. However, a new study led by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...

In a healthy brain, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a diffusion barrier that is essential for protecting normal brain function by impeding the entry of most compounds from the blood to the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
