Primary cilia are sensory organelles present in many cell types, partaking in various signaling processes. Primary cilia of pancreatic beta cells play pivotal roles in paracrine signaling and their ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a eukaryotic cellular structure that regulates bidirectional traffic of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. Solving the intricate structure of this ~120-MDa ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell's life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and ...

What is the full form of RNA? Explore its meaning, single-stranded structure, functions, how it differs from DNA, its role in ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

A first-in-human clinical trial of an immune rejuvenation therapy designed to restore the function of worn-out T cells is ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...
