Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell ...

In certain contexts, the Notch receptor may participate in “reverse signaling,” influencing neighboring cells directly.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

"The DNA inside our cells is constantly experiencing damage, and DNA repair is happening all the time to fix that damage and keep our cells healthy. Now, however, it seems these repair processes can ...

A new wave of scientific understanding is placing ferroptosis, a distinct form of iron-dependent cell death, at the forefront of efforts to overcome drug resistance in digestive cancers. These cancers ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

Researchers at the University of Houston are pushing the boundaries of biomedical innovation with a discovery that could transform treatment for one of cancer's most devastating complications. In a ...

Apoptosis is a process in which cells die off, intentionally. This programmed cell death pathway helps eliminate billions of cells every day, most of which are blood or gut cells, so they can be ...
