Amino acids play a fundamental role in regulating how cells respond to drugs. These molecules, which form proteins, act like ...

An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and ...

Positive-feedback System Ensures That Cells Divide Date: August 11, 2008 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: In the life of every cell, there's a point of no return. Once it enters the cell ...

Cells are not static. They can transform themselves over time — but change can have dangerous implications. Benign cells, for example, can suddenly change into cancerous ones.

The new research discovered cancer cells utilize this same autophagy mechanism to enter a dormant state and evade destruction from chemotherapy.

Scientists slow aging by engineering longevity in cells Studying yeast cells, researchers build a biosynthetic genetic 'clock' to extend lifespan Date: April 27, 2023 Source: University of ...

Scientists found that healthy women can carry genetic changes in their breast cells that are thought to be characteristic of invasive breast cancer.

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on ...
