Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

This fundamental work demonstrates that compartmentalized cellular metabolism is a dominant input into cell size control in a variety of mammalian cell types and in Drosophila. The authors show that ...

While presenting this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three immunologists who discovered and characterized regulatory T cells, committee chair Olle Kämpe, M.D., Ph.D., told the ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to three pioneering immunologists for their work on regulatory T cells, including two who conducted their winning work at a British ...

Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the prize for research showing how the body regulates its immune responses. By Gina Kolata and Ali Watkins Mary E. Brunkow, Fred ...

Dynamic regulation of cell–cell adhesion is fundamental to numerous biological processes and is the key to engineering multicellular structures. Optogenetic tools offer precise spatiotemporal control ...

A critical factor in cancer recurrence and the emergence of drug-resistant mutations is the existence of tolerant cells, such as persisters (10−14) which transiently adopt a slow-growing and highly ...

The UNC School of Medicine recently announced its new Masters of Science in Cell Biology and Physiology, with the program's first cohort set to begin coursework in the fall 2025 semester. The nine ...

Researchers at Tulane University have found that whether cells are derived from male or female donors can affect how they grow in common cell culture media. They say the study could help explain why a ...
