The chemotherapy drug cisplatin (CDDP) is widely used to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), but its efficacy is often compromised by resistance. CDDP resistance is known to arise ...

The molecular mechanisms underlying the transport of influenza A virus (IAV) membrane proteins to the cell surface remain largely unclear. In this study, siRNA screening identifies Rab27a as a ...

When a cell spreads out or changes its shape to adapt to its environment, the transport rate of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm changes. Previously, scientists assumed this change was ...

Protein molecules are found embedded in the two layers of phospholipids. Membrane proteins have a wide variety of functions. Some allow a cell to respond to specific chemical signals from other cells, ...

A company offering a flexible encapsulation technology that can transport cells without specialist cryopreservation is expanding from animal to human health. Likarda, which was spun out of the ...

A team of life scientists at Hanyang University, in Korea, working with a pair of colleagues from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has found that fruit flies use crystal cells ...

Researchers in China claim to have achieved the highest efficiency ever reported for perovskite solar cells based on “alternative” hole transport materials. The device reportedly offers improved hole ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...
