Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)Aug 9 2024 A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal ...

Activated T cells that carry a certain marker protein on their surface are controlled by natural killer (NK) cells, another cell type of the immune system. In this way, the body presumably curbs ...

Humans rely on the arsenal of cells, molecules, and biochemical pathways of the immune system to defend the body when it's threatened by pathogens. But there are many different biological mechanisms ...
