Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Miami teams are exploring stem‑cell neuron replacement for Parkinson’s — early signs are promising but still experimental.

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found ...
