Could future coronavirus variants fully dodge our immune system?
Studying dozens of naturally occurring and laboratory-selected mutations in SARS-CoV-2, researchers found that the virus will need to pull off a genetic feat to become fully resistant to antibodies.
Lonely flies, like many humans, eat more and sleep less
If COVID-19 lockdowns scrambled your sleep schedule and stretched your waistline, you're not alone. Fruit flies quarantined in test tubes sleep too little and eat too much after only one week of social isolation.
How cells draw on memories of past inflammation to respond to new threats
A new study uncovers a near-universal mechanism behind this phenomenon, known as inflammatory memory.
Paul Cohen, expert on fat, is promoted to associate professor
Cohen, a physician-scientist exploring obesity and metabolic disease, has conducted groundbreaking research on the complex inner workings of fat tissue.
Scientists capture the moving parts of the portal to the cell’s nucleus
The proteins of the nuclear pore complex flip-flop rapidly between two orientations as they let cargo through.
As COVID-19 vaccines emerge, the search for antiviral drugs continues
Scientists are digging through drug libraries of 430,000 compounds, in pursuit of an antiviral drug that can stop the novel coronavirus in its tracks.
Telomere shortening protects against cancer
Researchers have found the first evidence that telomere shortening is not just a sign of aging, but a key component of the body's cancer prevention system.
New atlas reveals the journey of human cells throughout development
The largest map of gene expression in over 4 million human cells charts the dynamic path to forming different organs.
How cells use mechanical tension sensors to interact with their environment
In a painstaking experiment, scientists suspended a single protein filament between two microscopic beads. Their results have shed light on an elusive process in which cells receive and respond to mechanical cues.
Rockefeller's Charles M. Rice honored with Nobel Prize for research that contributed to a cure for hepatitis C
Rice will receive the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for research that led to a cure for hepatitis C, a viral disease affecting 170 million people worldwide. His lab worked on the virus for three decades and became the first to produce a version of it that could be grown and studied i...
