A research group led by Professor Michael Glickman, dean of Technion's Faculty of Biology, has uncovered a key mechanism in ...

Researchers have identified a single protein whose absence can cripple tumors in mice, slowing their growth and in some cases ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever.

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

In 2009, Jonathan Weissman was hunting for a new way to spy on what happens inside a cell. In particular, the molecular cell biologist wanted to know what proteins are produced at any given moment. So ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...

Cell-cultivated protein company Meatable has wound up operations after failing to raise new funding. London-listed Agronomics ...
