Biochemistry and cell biology investigate the molecular underpinnings of life, spanning the structure, function and interplay of biomolecules within cells. At its core, biochemistry elucidates the ...

I’m currently studying MAPK signaling thresholds using mass spectrometry proteomic and phosphoproteomic approaches in Dr. Natalie Ahn’s lab. I developed my interest in cancer research, cell signaling ...

Researchers are rethinking how we target bowel cancer growth pathways, using patient-derived organoids to identify whether ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

A new single‑cell method, CIPHER‑seq, measures RNA and proteins together to reveal real‑time cytokine signaling.

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Kristyn graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2012 with a B.S. in Molecular & Cellular Biology. Her undergraduate research in Blake Hill’s lab focused on mitochondrial fission proteins. Before ...

Scientists have created a new "molecular map" uncovering how an important human receptor involved in blood clotting and ...

“We were stuck in the mindset that glucose is an energy source and nothing else,” Stanford Medicine chairman of dermatology Dr. Paul Khavari said. His are the words that define the paradigm shift ...
