In the natural world -- where predators pounce, prey flee, and group members feed and sleep in solidarity -- animal behavior is glorious in its variety. Now, new research suggests there may be an ...

Did you know that more than 75% of new infectious diseases affecting humans originally come from animals? Bats, in particular, are natural hosts to some of the world's most dangerous viruses, ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic ...

A new class of molecules capable of killing the cancer cells that are refractory to standard treatments and responsible for recurrence has just been developed. This crucial advance in the fight ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...

Current anticancer treatments essentially target the primary tumour cells that proliferate quickly, but do not effectively ...

Billions of animals are killed each year to feed an unsustainable demand for meat. Lab-grown meat—also known as cultured, cultivated, cell-based, or clean meat—can offer a kinder alternative ...

Here, we describe the isolation and structure determination of proteins in membrane vesicles derived directly from cells. Structures of the ion channel Slo1 from total cell membranes and from cell ...

The experiments in animal models demonstrated not only enhancement of NK cells but also that these cells can be transferred to naïve animals resulting in tumor eradication. The filed patent ...

In high-grade DCIS cells, they observed that cell crowding led to an increase in the number of various proteins on the plasma membrane of the cells. In particular, there was a striking 153-fold ...

Mass spectrometry revealed that crowding selectively relocated ion channels, including TRPV4, to the plasma membrane in high-grade DCIS cells. TRPV4 inhibition triggered by crowding decreased ...
