A new study has identified a molecular guardian that keeps skin cells from forgetting what they are and transforming into ...

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 ...

Researchers at University College Dublin have discovered a previously unknown "courier system" that cells use to deliver ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

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, ...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a central role in tumor initiation, progression, recurrence, and therapy resistance. Their abilities for self-renewal, multi-lineage differentiation, and strong ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the ...

Neurons communicate through dendrites, delicate tree-like branches that receive signals from other cells. When these structures are damaged, the brain’s wiring is disrupted. Scientists have long ...

Kansas will join at least 20 other states in banning cell phones in K-12 classrooms. Gov. Laura Kelly signed the ban into law on Thursday. (Rose Conlon / KMUW file photo) Share this post or save for ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.
