An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the brain ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Dr. Zhao said several of RS3's proteins are involved in placing or removing phosphate groups from other proteins—a regulatory function that he and his colleagues suspect plays a part in coordinating ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

A new Cell study suggests that T cell exhaustion in tumors is driven in part by failed proteostasis, causing damaged and ...
