Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance. Researchers from Japan have now ...

Since the time of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, cancer has been recognized as being sensitive to heat. Today, this principle forms the basis of hyperthermia treatment—a promising cancer ...

A groundbreaking study reveals a hidden cellular highway crucial for cholesterol transport. This pathway, involving the NPC1 protein and guided by VPS41, ensures cholesterol reaches its destination ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive types of breast cancer, lacking estrogen, progesterone, and ...
