A research team led by Professor June M. Kwak from the Department of New Biology at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee), in collaboration with Professor Jong Kyoung Kim’s team at POSTECH, has uncovered the ...

A new study sheds light on why certain oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the adult brain transform into gliomas, the most common and incurable type of adult brain tumors. A new study from ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal cells during the abscission process, where plants naturally shed flowers, ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive—particularly for egg-laying species ...

Humans rely on the arsenal of cells, molecules, and biochemical pathways of the immune system to defend the body when it's threatened by pathogens. But there are many different biological mechanisms ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)Aug 9 2024 A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal ...

Knowing exactly what's inside a tumor can maximize our ability to fight cancer. But that knowledge doesn't come easy. Tumors are clusters of constantly changing cancer cells. Some become common cancer ...
