Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

The element sodium plays a key role in nervous system function. An international research team headed by the Institute of ...

Chronic lung diseases, such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and BPD, impose heavy global health burdens with high morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have ...

撰文丨王聪编辑丨王多鱼排版丨水成文T 细胞是免疫系统的重要成员，但其防御能力是有限的。在对抗癌细胞的过程中，T 细胞常常会耗竭从而失去功能。目前，癌症免疫疗法的一个主要研究方向是让 T 细胞从耗竭状态中恢复过来，重新具备抗癌能力。而一项发表于 Cell 的新研究揭示了导致 T ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

HIV-1 remodels the spatial organization of its co-receptor, CXCR4, on T cell membranes, showing that viral entry requires receptor clustering rather than simple receptor binding.

UAB researchers have identified Tomosyn 2 as a key protein that balances insulin secretion and pancreatic beta cell growth, ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

Scientists want to know what causes B cells — which direct T cells to attack cancer — to malfunction and how they can be ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...
