Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer progression and its ability to evolve resistance to treatment, Memorial ...

That’s only one problem. Your immune system also has an adaptive system of specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy invading microbes. This system remembers what those intruders ...

The idea that the cosmos might be alive is moving from late-night speculation into serious, if controversial, scientific ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

CLASSIC enables large-scale testing of complex DNA circuits in human cells, advancing data-driven synthetic biology.

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

The image shows a metaphase spindle in a human ovarian cancer cell, surrounded by interphase cells. Microtubules are color-coded according to imaging depth, and chromosomes are shown in gray. Most ...

Cells are the basic unit of life and come in many different sizes and shapes. In animals, cell size is exquisitely matched to cell function: the smallest cells (such as red blood cells and sperm) shed ...

Prof. Dr. Elif Nur Fırat Karalar from Koç University's Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and her team have uncovered the molecular mechanisms responsible for regulating a structure that ...
