But how cells coordinate their actions to whip cilia back and forth and where the energy driving this motion comes from has been unclear. To help answer these questions, researchers at UTSW and ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

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 ...

The colorful dots at the center are cytotoxic granules used to destroy infected or cancerous cells. Credit: F. Lemaitre @ ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...
