In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

Silicon nanotube arrays deliver functional mRNA into human pluripotent stem cells for the first time, achieving up to 64% transfection without compromising stem cell identity.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

A well-fitted ‘disguise’ allows transplanted mitochondria to slip into cells whose own mitochondria are defective, scientists reported 18 March in Cell 1. Administration of these cloaked mitochondria ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

Now, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have discovered that Src also appears like a flag on the surface of bladder, colorectal, breast, pancreatic, and probably many ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

Researchers identified TBC1D9B as the off switch for ARL8B, a key regulator of lysosome positioning. This mechanism controls how cells adapt to nutrient stress and maintain metabolic balance.

For five decades, scientists have known about a notorious cancer-causing enzyme called SRC. But they always assumed it only ...
