The research team demonstrated that innate immune cells called Natural Killer (NK) cells that express CD8a on the cell ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" ...

Sugars interact with the cell surface through sugar-binding proteins called lectins. These interactions play a fundamental role in many of the cell's biological processes. One important function ...

KRAS mutations are among the most common genetic alterations in cancer and are considered particularly difficult to treat.

While some agreed that the sTREM2-transgelin-2 interaction reduced downstream tau pathology, others noted that transgelin-2 contains no transmembrane domain, hence cannot act as a cell-surface ...

The breakthrough, described today in Nature, revolves around engineered receptors on the surface of cells that can sense molecules in the surrounding environment and, in response, change the ...

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are a class of cell surface markers whose aberrant activation causes cancer progression. In particular, ROR1 is an RTK known to be involved in multiple human cancers.
