How do cells know when to activate or slow down their activity? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) provides new ...

Fluorescent proteins have revolutionized science, enabling researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in living ...

Achondroplasia, also known as short-limb dwarfism, is associated with neurological symptoms and complications due to narrowing of the skeletal structures surrounding the spinal cord. Despite ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Cancers are diseases of abnormal cellular growth, and although many are treatable or even curable, their origins are not necessarily clear. Understanding the precise timing of cellular events—as cells ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

A newly discovered protein controls plant cell growth, helping seedlings develop and survive early growth stages.

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot soldier in the body's defense against bacterial infection, does not actually ...
