Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

Pre-autophagosome membrane captures damaged mitochondria and other cytosolic components to become an autophagosome. Autophagosome fuses with lysosome and the materials inside are degraded. Researchers ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in ...
