Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

Pancreatic cancers are aggressive and deadly, with high rates of metastasis and poor prognosis. The tumour environment is also hypoxic: the cells rapidly divide and thrive in very low oxygen ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...
