Susy Kohout, PhD, of Cooper Medical School of Rowan University has been named a 2025 AAAS Fellow, a prestigious lifetime ...

Biochemistry and cell biology investigate the molecular underpinnings of life, spanning the structure, function and interplay of biomolecules within cells. At its core, biochemistry elucidates the ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Kristyn graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2012 with a B.S. in Molecular & Cellular Biology. Her undergraduate research in Blake Hill’s lab focused on mitochondrial fission proteins. Before ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the brain—regulate neuroinflammation and promote the development of behaviors ...

Researchers have identified a specific hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells as a direct driver of obesity-linked ...
