In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

When we talk about memories in biology, we tend to focus on the brain and the storage of information in neurons. But there are lots of other memories that persist within our cells. Cells remember ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding how fat cells grow in size, in response to accommodating larger ...

In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

A discovery by researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine in the US could lead to treatments that clear the troublesome ...

Scientists at NYU Langone discovered that blocking a key protein that shields cancer cells from a natural stress-driven death process can dramatically slow lung tumor growth.

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical ...

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy ...

Surprised researchers discover hormone-sensitive lipase in the nuclei of fat cells, part of a finely tuned system that ...
