When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

A single damaged protein inside one brain cell may seem insignificant. Yet new research shows how that small mistake can ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering immune receptors that normally receive weak signals from tumors, these four ...
