Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a self ...

A comprehensive atlas of the human hypothalamus, a brain region that regulates many bodily functions, including temperature, sleep and appetite, has been built using single-cell RNA sequencing and ...

The old paradigm was all about how molecules pass information around the cell by getting together via selective interactions tightly encoded into their structure. Condensates undermine this view.

Excalidraw is an innovative online whiteboarding tool that uses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to convert simple text prompts into detailed, professional-quality diagrams. Whether you ...

The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram below shows the same plant cell ...
