Differences in cellular pathway activity flip the switch from nocturnality to diurnality and explain a major evolutionary change humans have ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

The intense sensation we experience from powerful sounds—like a jet engine roaring at takeoff or the deep thump of concert speakers—isn’t just something we hear in our ears or feel in our heads. Our ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...

DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once. Instead, they copy only the necessary parts into RNA, which is then used to ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

Researchers created a cryo-optical microscopy method that freezes live cells in milliseconds, enabling multi-mode imaging of fast cellular events. (Nanowerk News) Optical microscopy is a key technique ...
