They are the cell's "gatekeepers": specialized proteins, known as transporters, selectively control which substances enter a ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This process is especially important in neurons, which have highly polarized ...

Researchers at EMBL Hamburg and collaborators at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) have mapped how the influenza A virus rewires infected human cells in unprecedented ...

New study reveals how flu virus hijacks human cells to multiply ...

Nivedita Pujari is a postdoctoral researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Duncan Wilson’s group. Her research focuses on understanding how the herpes simplex virus hijacks the cells’ ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These “cellular winds” push materials to the front of the cell, ...

A study offers new insight into how insulin-producing cells could become more resilient to stress as diabetes progresses.

New research headed by scientists at Baylor College of Medicine suggests that when bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not “every man for himself.” The team developed a genetic system in ...
