Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

For the first time, scientists have answered a longstanding question in cell biology about a partnership of proteins called ...

“This publication validates our belief that precision medicine should be measured, not marketed,” said Katy Whalen, ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...

The study's main contributors include (L-R) graduate student Joshua Shaffer, professor Upasna Sharma, and postdoc Alka Gupta. (Photo by Carolyn Lagattuta) The pioneering research of UC Santa Cruz’s ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Spatial proteomics is the study of the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular function, making spatial ...
