When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are vital metabolic sensors that couple intracellular adenine nucleotide levels to membrane electrical activity, thereby regulating insulin secretion in ...

Obesity and cancer are two major health challenges of our time, yet the link between them remains only partially understood.

T cells are not able to create their cellular energy, called adenosine triphosphate or ATP, when they are inside a solid tumor. Now, researchers led by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center may ...

Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level-until now.

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...
