How cells remember inflammation
When a tissue experiences inflammation, its cells remember. Pinning proteins to its genetic material at the height of inflammation, the cells bookmark where they left off in their last tussle. Next exposure, inflammatory memory kicks in. The cells dr.....»»

The Honda CR-V e:FCEV is a plug-in fuel-cell hybrid nobody asked for
Hydrogen has problems, and this isn't a solution, but it's a decent CR-V. Enlarge / We still think hydrogen fuel cells make more sense for static generators like the ones in the background, but Honda decided to make a fuel cell-p.....»»
How DHX9 stress granules protect daughter cells from UV-induced RNA damage
During the process of cell division, new daughter cells inherit a mix of genetic material and other molecules from their mother cells. This inheritance includes both beneficial components, which can help them for a robust start in life, and potential.....»»
Scientists publish novel research on how individual cells respond to viral infection
A team of scientists from Montana State University recently published unique research examining how individual cells respond to viral infection. The work used state-of-the-art technology to culture cells and track infection in real time; it is the fi.....»»
Study shows how surface curvature drives cell migration
The curvature of a surface determines the migration behavior of biological cells. They preferentially move along valleys or grooves while avoiding ridges. These findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences with c.....»»
