As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues.
This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...
When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...
When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...
Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...
Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...
Researchers can use it to test how well antiviral drugs work directly in living cells and see the results in real time. The team also points out that the same tool could be used to study how other ...
