The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in Science Immunology shows that in some white blood cells, this genetic storage ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic ...

New research findings from the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen bring us one step closer to ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are larger than normal. Until now, this was considered a sign that the cancer was ...

Study in fission yeast revealed a key role for a set of enzymes called agmatinases, which break down the metabolite agmatine into polyamines.

Bassler's pioneering research on the molecular mechanisms used by bacteria for intercellular communication has shown ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London's School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that new TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 prolongs ...

The immune system can be a double-edged sword; we need it to protect us from pathogens and aberrant cells, but if it is not carefully regulated ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

Cell biology researchers at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have made a discovery about two ciliary ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells and play pivotal roles ...
