A research team found that the streamlined cell can evolve just as fast as a normal cell, demonstrating the capacity for organisms to adapt, even with an unnatural genome that would seemingly provide little flexibility.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer characterized by metastasis and treatment resistance. Now, researchers have identified tumor-initiating cells responsible for disease progression and resistance to treatment in PDAC.

Researchers encoded a toxin produced by bacteria into mRNA molecules and delivered these particles directly to cancer cells, causing the cells to produce the toxin – which eventually killed them with a success rate of 50%.

Findings from a new study are an important piece of the puzzle in explaining what happens in the ear in hearing impairment caused by harmful noise, and may in the long run contribute to diagnosing noise-induced hearing injury.

A new study from MIT chemists offers a potential explanation for how proteins of the light-harvesting complex, also called the antenna, achieve such high efficiency.

Genetic analyses conducted on an alga species may provide clues to the origin of auxin signaling mechanisms, as reported by scientists at Tokyo Tech.

According to research, the rupture of weak sacrificial bonds within collagen tissue helps to localize damage caused by excessive force, minimize negative impacts on the wider tissue and promote recovery.

Researchers have published a study that reveals how cells carry out the controlled release of mucins and insulin, two crucial proteins for human health.

Researchers have discovered a molecular switch that controls the storage or conversion of lipids into energy in cells.

A joint research team from Pohang University of Science and Technology and CHA University have developed a gel that mimics the environment of uterine cells, inducing endometrial regeneration and elucidating its mechanism.
