Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

Cancer arises when the normal controls on cell growth, differentiation and death are subverted. Under physiological conditions, cells proliferate only in response to external stimuli, replicate their ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter ...

Researchers led by Didier Trono’s group at EPFL have uncovered a crucial survival tactic employed by cancer cells. The scientists identified a group of proteins, known as KRAB zinc finger proteins ...

The concept of permanent and irreversible cell cycle arrest (senescence) was initially regarded as a defence mechanism against tumour progression. However, ...

Persistent viral infections pose a unique challenge to the immune system. Prolonged antigen exposure drives T cells into a state of exhaustion — a ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.
