A new study shows that ultramarathons damage and replenish red blood cells in ways that could help treat cancer patients.

For five decades, scientists have known about a notorious cancer-causing enzyme called SRC. But they always assumed it only appeared on the inside of cells, where it sent signals that fueled tumor ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Cone snails deploy sophisticated venom cocktails to paralyse prey. Anthony King talks to the researchers harnessing these ...

You’ve seen people sliding into the tube of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine on your favorite medical drama, or maybe you’ve been inside one yourself, waiting as the noisy scanner makes ...

Study shows how viral single-gene lysis proteins lock the peptidoglycan flippase MurJ into an outward-facing state ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.
