Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors that many common medicines target. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

Macrophages, the immune system’s front-line scavenger cells, do more than simply digest dead cells. A new study published in ...

Researchers have discovered how mitochondrial stress drives T cell exhaustion and a potential way to restore their ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health challenge by compromising the effectiveness of current therapies for infectious diseases. While ...
