Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or ...

Study reveals how cells run complex computations without a brain, challenging traditional engineering principles ...

Glucose drives T cell signaling. Stronger signals mean better cancer defense. For the body’s disease-fighting T cells, glucose is much more than just a simple sugar rush. Scientists at the Institute ...

The scientists used AI technology to design proteins that would activate a cell signaling language called Notch, which is ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue.

Research shows short-term fasting improves glucose regulation, while long-term fasting in young mice impairs β cell function, potentially increasing T1D risk.

Dysregulated lipid metabolism in Alzheimer’s disease causes lipid buildup in microglia, reducing the immune cell’s ability to ...

Some experts think “xenobot” cells that reorganize themselves after death signify a form of consciousness—while others ...
