Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in ...

Scientists have discovered that beneficial root-dwelling fungi boost plant resilience to disease by remodeling the plant cell ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...

Researchers have identified how a single mutation in the GPX4 enzyme causes neurons to undergo ferroptosis, leading to severe early-onset dementia.

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...
