Andre Levchenko, newly designated as the John C. Malone Professor of Biomedical Engineering, combines experimental results with computational models to learn about the interactions of proteins and ...

Yale University scientists announced this week that they have made a crucial discovery about the spread of cancer cells. The discovery may lead to new methods for treating cancer, according to ...

A miniature city for microbes constructed in the lab could shed light on how the buggers naturally form drug-resistant communities. The ability of microbes to resist drugs can lead to deadly strains, ...

Drawing on lab experiments and computer studies, Johns Hopkins researchers have learned how a common protein delivers its warning message to cells when an infectious agent invades the body. The ...

Researchers from The Johns Hopkins University and other institutions have discovered a biochemical "clock" that appears to play a crucial role in the way information is sent from the surface of a cell ...

A new nano-fabricated platform for observing brain cancer cells provides a much more detailed look at how the cells migrate and a more accurate post-surgery prognosis for brain cancer (glioblastoma) ...

Yale researchers have discovered how metastasis, the spread of cancer cells throughout the body, is triggered on the molecular level, and have developed a tool with the potential to detect those ...

Researchers have used a small synthetic molecule to stimulate cells to move and change shape, bypassing the cells' usual way of sensing and responding to their environment. The experiment pioneers a ...

A new study by researchers at Yale and Johns Hopkins University has discovered how asthmatic bronchial spasms — muscle contractions in the airway that cause difficulty breathing in asthma patients— ...

Johns Hopkins researchers from the Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine have devised a micro-scale tool - a lab on a chip - designed to mimic the chemical complexities of the brain ...
