Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...
