Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their work on the discovery of microRNA, a molecule that governs how cells in the ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...

How Does Zynlonta Work for B-Cell Lymphoma? Zynlonta is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which is a type of targeted cancer medicine. ADCs work as smart bombs to find cancer cells in the body that ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
