In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells.

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

During infection or cancer, cytotoxic T lymphocytes attach to their target and establish an exchange zone known as the immune ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...
