Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

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 ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

One limitation of the current study is that the imaging methods allowed scientists to observe intracellular signaling for only a few hours. The team plans to use newer technologies in future studies ...
