By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, largely because it is usually discovered only after it has spread to other ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human cells. The footage reveals that cells are far from passive targets and instead ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

A team of Berlin-based researchers led by Jana Kroll and Christian Rosenmund has captured the fleeting moment a nerve cell ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers have detailed the synaptic vesicle fusion process, which is crucial for effective neurotransmitter release in the brain.
