Integrating proteomics with systems biology reveals complex cellular networks, improving disease mechanisms understanding and precision medicine applications.

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

The elimination of damaged cell components is essential for the maintenance of the body's tissues and organs. Researchers have made significant findings on mechanisms for the clearing of cellular ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

Recent research shows that tumors in different organs host microbial communities capable of influencing cancer biology, ...

Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.
