Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

The Dr. Pompa Test Kit measures cellular inflammation by detecting malondialdehyde, or MDA, in urine. Here is how it works: when the body is exposed to toxins, free radicals attack the cell membranes ...

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of biology.

Cell membranes are dynamic structures that protect cells while constantly adapting to environmental change. For years, their behavior seemed to contradict basic physical laws linking structure and ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
