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.

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

T cell immunotherapies are on the cutting-edge of cancer treatments, but a full understanding of how they work has been ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...
