Recent scientific breakthroughs suggest that manipulating a hidden “death switch” in our cells could significantly slow the ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

An international study led by the University of Basel has discovered that nuclear pore complexes—tiny gateways in the nuclear ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures are ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and ...

Disrupted function of 'cleaning cells' in the body may help to explain why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes, while others do not. A study describes this newly discovered mechanism.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have established a novel transplantation site for islets of Langerhans that enables long-term intravital microscopy of islet physiology in awake mice with ...

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy ...
