Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted 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 ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant ...

A 30-minute sauna session may boost white blood cells, helping your body stay alert and ready to fight infections, new ...

Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system. It regulates acidity inside lysosomes, ensuring they function properly.

Scientists uncover a metabolic vulnerability in aging cells that could be key to restoring resilience and combating ...
