Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and ...

Researchers developed CytoTape, an intracellular protein fiber that records cellular activity over time using molecular tags.

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more ...

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

A small subpopulation of highly plastic cancer cells has been found to be for cancer progression and treatment resistance.

“There has never really been an integrated explanation as to why cancer cells develop plasticity,” said Antonio Iavarone, M.D. “That’s what our study does. We’ve now revealed how the plasticity of ...

Cancer cells expand through mutations – but not just through mutations. They also change their behavior in the absence of underlying genetic alterations. Such plasticity helps the cells both adapt to ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...
