Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

Intracellular peptides, generated predominantly via the ubiquitin–proteasome system, have emerged as critical modulators of cell signalling. These peptides play multifaceted roles, ranging from ...

A protein already targeted by FDA-approved cancer drugs may also help the body fight influenza, according to new research ...

Cancer-fighting T cells do not simply "run out of energy." They are molecularly reprogrammed. For years, mitochondrial ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new approach called “optovolution.” This technique uses light to guide the evolution ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the ...

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 ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up the field of biology, tracking what’s happening inside cells. Now these ubiquitous tools are ...
