New research has updated the understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into the skin in the ...

A new tool greatly improves scientists' ability to identify and study proteins that regulate gene activity in cells, according to research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The technology ...

In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s surprising ...

Israeli and US scientists have discovered how tiny gateways in human cells control what enters and leaves the cell's nucleus, ...

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...

New research has updated our understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into skin in the ...

Shedding light on what determines how cells become what they are meant to be-nerves, bone, muscles, etc.-can also help researchers understand how diseases develop when these biological programs break ...

Researchers create a magnetic nanoscale system that reversibly switches groove and ridge structures to regulate stem cell adhesion and differentiation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue regeneration depends ...

Changes in cellular metabolites have been shown to regulate embryonic stem cell development at the earliest stages of life. Metabolites are simple compounds generated during life-sustaining chemical ...
