Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have characterized a hidden intermediate state at the center of Src ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

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 ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

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 ...

Akhilesh Gaharwar, a biomedical engineer and one of the researchers on the project at Texs A&M, said they have found a way to ...

This study shows that vacancy-engineered MoS₂ nanoflowers drive mitochondrial biogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells by ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Mitochondria can lose power like batteries, but they can potentially be regenerated—a promising development than can be used ...

A new study identifies molecular factors that promote small vessel disease—and an active drug that can restore impaired ...
