The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," ...

The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...

They derive their energy from differences in the concentration of hydrogen ions across some of these membranes ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet, together with colleagues from Linköping University, has uncovered the ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

A study published in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune ...

Researchers demonstrate an artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Cigarette smoke impairs mesenchymal stem cell function, limiting proliferation, migration, differentiation, and ...
