Platelets are small, anucleate blood cells that play an essential role in hemostasis. Their primary task is to recognize vascular injury, become activated, and aggregate via their surface receptor ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Autoimmune disease occurs from the body’s immune system attacking its healthy cells. Unfortunately, the mechanism that would normally prevent autoimmunity is not present in some individuals. T cells ...

The field of regulated cell death has undergone a transformative shift with the discovery of novel modalities beyond apoptosis, such as ferroptosis, which ...

Researchers from the University of Seville have participated in research to identify the molecular details of the regulation ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Researchers at the University of Seville have participated in the discovery of new chemical markers that regulate the activity of pyruvate kinase, opening the door to a better understanding of the ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

After treatment with CAR-T cells—immune cells engineered to attack cancer—patients sometimes tell their doctors they feel like they have “brain fog,” or forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating. A ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
