From the fluid mosaic model to tight junctions, cell membranes are the ultimate gatekeepers of life. They manage what comes in and out, maintain balance, and even signal to other cells. Understanding ...

A collaboration between the University of Geneva and Lausanne University Hospital has shown in new detail how the body's defenses fight back against malignant cells. Those defenses involve T ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Far from being a static shell, the cell membrane is a fluid, selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. It regulates transport, supports ...

Researchers used cryo-expansion microscopy to map the immune synapse in near-native conditions, uncovering structural ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...
