Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

Fluorescence-based imaging methods have recorded many details of cell dynamics and behavior, but the full 3D orientation and position of fluorescently marked ensembles has remained difficult to ...

A schematic overview illustrating how the immune microenvironment is involved in diseases across various systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Targeting cellular ...
