Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

A schematic overview illustrating how the immune microenvironment is involved in diseases across various systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Targeting cellular ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...
