The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it ...

In preliminary experiments with mice and lab-grown cells, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found that a protein-signaling process accelerates the work of the gene most frequently ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

Immunometabolism has emerged as a central hub linking infection, inflammation, cell death, and cancer. The metabolic state of cells profoundly shapes their ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—that invade a host, replicate, and ...

Human cells decode dynamics Wnt signals using an anti-resonant filter that suppresses intermediate-frequency inputs and is capable of redirecting developmental fate outcomes, including germ-layer ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the specific destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic ...
