There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

Living cells pay a hidden energy price not just to run chemical reactions, but to keep them on track and block all the ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...

HCPs are unwanted impurities requiring removal during manufacturing, but new trehalose technology significantly reduces HCPs ...
