Researchers at the University of Washington and Fred Hutch found that CARD8, an inflammasome sensor, detects HIV-1 in macrophages during cell-to-cell viral transmissions from infected T cells. HIV can ...

Scientists at Stockholm University and collaborators say they have used high-resolution genomic tools to map the global repertoire of genes of gametocyte development toward the male or the female ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites—not a shared site—to achieve different types of ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

When droplet-like structures called condensates collide with cell membranes, the interaction can alter the cell membrane’s electrical properties at the point of contact. This image shows a condensate ...
