When the body encounters infection or cancer, cytotoxic T lymphocytes attach to the affected cell and form the immune synapse ...

Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.

How reorganizing existing drugs and vaccine components can dramatically alter their potency, selectivity, and even their ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized ...

Cryo-expansion microscopy has enabled researchers to visualise the three-dimensional organisation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes ...

How Targeted Therapy Works In Cancer Care: Cancer begins when changes occur in the genetic structure of the body's cells.

University of Warwick researchers have discovered a cell structure which could help scientists understand why some cancers develop. For the first time a structure called 'the mesh' has been identified ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Arabidopsis plant with defective augmin (right and inset) does not grow compared to a control plant (left). Some weedkillers attack the augmin system. In plants, augmin is involved both in cell ...
