Research teams have now discovered that the HIV capsid has evolved into a molecular transporter. As such, it can directly breach a crucial barrier, which normally protects the cell nucleus against viral invaders.

Senescent cells accumulate as we age. CAR T cells can be programmed to seek them out and destroy them. The image above shows healthy pancreatic tissue samples from an old mouse treated with CAR T cells as a young pup.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign investigated how the type and amount of these VOCs change based on different features of tomato plants.

The details of many immune defense mechanisms are still unknown, but a new study sheds light on one such mechanism. Researchers describe exactly how GBP1 proteins render bacteria harmless by encapsulating them.

RNA tagging has revealed a slew of previously unknown molecular and cellular changes that drive ovulation, which could prove pivotal for developing therapeutics for infertility.

In recent years scientists have been surprised to find RNAs outside of their cellular comfort zone. A Yale study offers insight into what they’re doing there.

Researchers have revealed critical patterns of fatty acid attachment to proteins in the model organism C. elegans, which could enhance our understanding of disease.

Neuroscientists demonstrate how the brain improves its ability to distinguish between similar experiences, findings that could lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.

The body’s immune response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may play a role in causing damage in people with multiple sclerosis, according to a new study.

ETH Zurich researchers have found a virus that kills dormant bacteria. This rare discovery could help to combat germs that can’t be treated with antibiotics alone.
