Scientists at The University of Manchester have identified the method by which cells control the recycling of molecules, a process that is essential for them to move. The discovery provides ...

A normal process called cell competition, in which healthy tissues eliminate unhealthy cells, could be responsible for cancer relapses in patients months or years after they were declared cancer-free, ...

A new breakthrough study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities could explain why patients with the ...

In people with chronic heart failure, the heart doesn't pump blood as effectively as it should. This leaves the patient weak, tired, and short of breath. The disease is life-threatening, and around ...

The surfaces of cells are decorated with receptors, and the interactions between receptors and their binding partners are involved in a huge variety of pathways and processes. Some pathogenic bacteria ...
