Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Scientists have long observed that embryos of different species within a phylum look quite distinct at early and late ...

Chris Doel, 27, wanted to raise awareness of the wastefulness of disposable vapes ...

Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...

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.

A computational method called scSurv, developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, links individual cells to patient outcomes using widely available bulk RNA sequencing data. The approach ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.

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 ...

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed, but from one protein interfering with the normal job of another ...
