Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These “cellular winds” push materials to the front of the cell, ...

CAR-T cell therapy, originally developed for cancer, is showing ever more promise as a treatment for autoimmune diseases.

Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant glutathione to regulate T-cell activity, but it also helps T cells multiply and ...

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

As the cell approaches division, it produces the DNA of its future daughter cell (red). While the goal of simulating a real, ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate consistent functional activity using the same antibodies across murine and human-relevant ...

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, ...
