Cell motility and adhesion are fundamental processes that underpin embryonic development, immune surveillance, wound healing and tumour invasion. At their core lies a dynamic interplay between ...

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a central regulator of how cells sense and respond to their surroundings. Situated at integrin-based adhesions, FAK transmits signals from the extracellular matrix and ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have identified a molecule on the surface of cells that could be a promising therapeutic target against cancer. This molecule ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...
