Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

For people with two hands, one is usually dominant. On a molecular level, life takes this to the extreme. All of the DNA in ...

Researchers are studying ways to manage the side effects associated with CAR T-cell therapy. For example, tocilizumab can be used to manage CRS. Clinical trials are in progress to see how this ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

The stability of Pt-based catalysts is critical to the reliability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Here, the authors use stroboscopic operando high energy X-ray scattering to reveal Pt ...

cells receive signals to turn on only those genes that are appropriate to their function. For example, all cells in the body possess the gene that encodes insulin. However, only the beta cells of ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and ...
