Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a temperature. Insulin signals respond to such stress signals by sending the protein ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Once the virus attaches to receptor clusters, it sends signals that make the cell wrap it in a clathrin coat and build an actin bulge, pulling the virus inward. The virus is then pinched off into a ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

This fundamental work provides solid evidence that advances our understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying bacterial cell division by examining the role of membrane tension and FtsZ ...
