New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

Tracking how cancer cells develop in real time How these differences in the genome and in epigenetic control arise in cells, and how they are passed on to their daughter and granddaughter cells, has ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

A new immune cell conversion technology has been developed that directly transforms somatic cells into 'Natural Killer (NK) ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals - small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed ...
