A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

PFAS are found in multiple everyday products, such as cosmetics, outdoor clothing and coated pans. This is because of their special properties. They are heat-resistant, repel water and grease and are ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

New research from scientists at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine and Duke University describes how cellular RNA helps regulate antiviral signaling as part of the immune response ...

A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from spreading: they kill themselves to eliminate the dangerous microbes they ...

Young infants hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) often become much sicker than those infected with ...

A research team has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery deepens the understanding of a new type of ...

A monoclonal antibody created by the Nanobiotechnology for Diagnostics group (Nb4D) at the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of ...
