Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed ...

Many types of cancer are caused by gene mutations in the signalling pathways that control cell growth, such as the hedgehog signalling pathway. A new study from the Karolinska Institutet, published in ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

Our body receives and processes a vast number of signals. Chemical signals serve as guidance cues and ensure, for example, that immune cells arrive exactly where they are needed. Many vital processes ...

Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
