A protein complex inside every living cell that tells it how to grow. Problems with the protein's signaling system can lead to neurological issues. University of Arizona biologist Andrew Capaldi describes how scientists are examining the inner workings of cells.

MCB professor Lisa Rezende is one of the authors the podcast "Helping people navigate and make sense of cancer information: challenges and perspectives", published by Future Oncology.

Two scientists combine complementary strengths in RNA biology and aging neuron research to advance new approaches in studying ALS: Ross Buchan and Kevin Rhine are using a new effort at the University of Arizona BIO5 Institute to bring faculty and clinicians together across disciplines to better understand, and ultimately treat, ALS.

Dr. George Sutphin, associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, opened the Science Lectures series 2026 on February 4 with the topic of aging and the question: how long can we stay healthy?

Led by graduate students Aaron Byrd and Lucas Marmorale, the work identifies two molecular players as key drivers of TDP-43 clearance. The abnormal buildup of this protein in the wrong part of neurons is a defining feature of ALS.

From AP high school science classes to researching in a lab, one student has used his natural curiosity to reach new levels of success and opportunities.

Natalie Rawlings, a senior pursuing dual degrees in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry in the Franke Honors College, exemplifies undergraduate research excellence in MCB.

Not much is known about how organisms colonize brand-new habitats for the first time. A new study led by a team of ecologists and planetary scientists from the University of Arizona provides glimpses into a poorly understood process.

The College of Science recognized outstanding seniors for their contributions in and out of the classroom. Jasmine Meredith is this semester's recipient from Molecular & Cellular Biology.
