Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way plants fight disease by teaming up with beneficial fungi that literally remodel the battleground inside their roots. The study, published in Cell Reports ...
