Researchers discovered dormant breast cancer cells protected by surrounding immune and connective tissue cells, potentially explaining cancer relapse after treatment.
A newly discovered microbial partnership in ancient stromatolites may reveal how simple cells first joined to create complex life, offering the first visual evidence of an Asgard archaeon interacting with a bacterium.
Researchers have found that misfolded insulin proteins may contribute to diabetes progression, suggesting new treatment strategies by strengthening cellular protein-folding machinery.
New neuron imaging research has uncovered an unconventional protein transport route called transcytosis, vital for synaptic communication and nerve function.
A new study suggests vitamin B2 may help cancer cells survive by protecting them from programmed cell death, and a related compound, roseoflavin, could trigger this cell death.
A new study reveals that hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), a protein known for fat breakdown, also maintains fat cell health from within the nucleus, challenging previous assumptions about obesity and metabolic disease.
A fat-burning protein, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), has been found to control fat cell health from inside the nucleus, challenging previous obesity research.
Engineers developed an AI-enhanced microscopy technique, unrolled blind-SIM (UBSIM), that captures crisp, real-time video inside live cells, producing images twice as sharp as conventional methods without false details.
Scientists developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that allows real-time visualization of centrioles and cilia in living cells across various species, aiding research into cell division, development, and disease.
A new microfluidic device developed by Brown University and NIST researchers measures cell elasticity and size faster and more reliably than previous methods, potentially aiding disease diagnosis.
