Genes regulating the finger-like cellular protrusions—filopodia have long been implicated in cancer metastasis. However, depleting the flat lamellipodia but retaining filopodia drastically hampers ...

Mar. 11, 2025 — Researchers have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the differences ...

Cells lacking a stiff cell wall, e.g., mammalian cells, must actively regulate their volume to maintain proper cell function. On the time scale that protein production is negligible, water flow in and ...

Apr. 4, 2025 — New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

What Is B-Cell Lymphoma? B-cell lymphoma is a cancer that forms in your white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells are made by your lymphatic system, which plays an important role in immunity.

2) Extension of protrusions at the cell’s leading edge. Migration begins with lamellipodia or filopodia formation, driven by actin polymerization via the Arp2/3 complex. Rac and Cdc42 regulate this ...

Carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue lining organs, such as the liver or kidneys. Like other types of cancer, carcinomas are abnormal cells that ...

You can increase white blood cells (WBCs) by taking certain medications and eating immune-boosting foods, like yogurt, lean protein foods, antioxidant-rich vegetables, and more. Maintaining a normal ...
