Scientists have discovered how chemokines and G protein-coupled receptors selectively bind each other to control how cells move. Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Medical ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

Viruses need host cells, and viral pathogens have many different ways to infect those hosts. Scientists have revealed a rapid movement made by a small molecule called a glycoprotein on the surface of ...

Lab-grown dopamine cells show early success in Parkinson’s patients, improving movement and offering a new treatment path.

Cell movement is an essential biological process, whether it's cancer cells metastasizing to other parts of the body or immune cells migrating to heal a wound. However, the principle by which cells ...

Scientists have developed a new method that can manipulate the movement of embryonic cells using short-time attractors. As embryos grow from conception to birth, cells multiply rapidly and move in a ...

Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals. However, the way cells receive, process and respond to these signals has been extremely hard to ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Aggressive cancer cells are masters of movement. When they spread through the body, they cause metastasis, which significantly reduces a person's chance of survival. For this spreading to take place, ...

New research has updated our understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis. The paper entitled "Leukocytes have a heparan ...
