Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry ...
Tularemia is a rare but highly infectious disease caused by Francisella tularensis, a bacterium that can evade immune ...
After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...
In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...
The important study uses genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screenings to identify a novel target B4GALTZ1 that is implicated in modulating CD8+ T cell function in the context of anti-tumor immunity. The ...
Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...
Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted changes in gene function. Report: Claire Robinson and Prof Michael Antoniou ...
Microsoft Excel’s new COPILOT function lets users generate, summarize, and analyze data directly in spreadsheet cells using plain-language prompts. (Microsoft Image) Microsoft is building generative ...
Engineered CD4 T cells, once thought to be sidekicks, are now showing lethal promise against cancer. Their ability to target a common tumor marker could revolutionize treatment for many. Credit: Stock ...
Vacuoles and lysosome-related organelles (LROs) are essential compartments in eukaryotic cells playing crucial roles in storage, degradation, signaling, and homeostasis. Despite their functional ...
