Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...

Researchers have identified how cells recognize and suppress transposons, mobile DNA elements that can destabilize genomes.

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

When immune cells strike, precision is everything. New research reveals how natural killer and T cells orchestrate the release of toxic granules—microscopic packages that destroy virus-infected or ...

UL’s Prof George Barreto discusses his research and how it could help form new treatments for treating and protecting the brain.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a deadly disease in which the lungs become thickened and scarred, gradually losing their ability to deliver oxygen to the body. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco have ...
