Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

Researchers have created nanoparticles that can remove disease-driving proteins while also delivering a chemotherapeutic or ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

A new study shows cells use dual RNA signals to control microRNA lifespan. This selective process protects gene regulation while enabling targeted RNA breakdown.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine Barcelona have identified how a therapeutic compound binds to a ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend ...

To enhance CAR T therapies, scientists are actively studying TCR signaling and T-cell exhaustion mechanisms to improve CAR T persistence and function. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards ...

The brain’s ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...
