While RNA has long been known as the intermediary between active genes and the proteins those genes encode for, recent research has revealed other roles for this crucial molecule. Some RNAs help ...

Human immune cells are capable of coordinating their own movement more independently than previously thought. Researchers discovered that immune cells do not just passively follow the chemical cues in ...

The ideal therapy for a disease works exclusively at the site of the disease. But when it comes to the brain, which is wrapped in a protective barrier and contains thousands of different cell types, ...

Strong Points: Images are detailed and interactive; numerous additional resources are provided for each structure. The Allen Institute, long a pioneer in open-access neuroscience, also provides ...

Human immune cells are capable of coordinating their own movement more independently than previously thought. InFLAMES researcher Jonna Alanko has discovered that immune cells do not just passively ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing how a specialized signaling center shapes both cell identity and tissue ...

Dendritic cells alter the chemokine gradient they follow to direct themselves to the lymph nodes. An immune response is an impressive feat of collective migration involving many cell types and ...

Programmed cell death such as apoptosis is a common stage of cellular life. Nanoclustering/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Living cells work better than dying cells, right? However, this is not ...
