One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Life’s fundamental structure is the cell, and so the main things that a cell does — processing biomolecules, growing, replicating its genetic material and producing a new body — are considered ...

Researchers have uncovered a shared brain cell breakdown mechanism behind Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, revealing how two different proteins can disrupt neurons in the same devastating way.

How are sugars attached to proteins? Sugars are commonly attached to proteins in a process called glycosylation. This fascinating modification involves linking sugar molecules to specific amino acids ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...

A new study published in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism by Dr. Ahmet S. Yayla provides critical insights into the organizational structure and operational mechanisms of terrorist cells. Drawing on ...

Golgi assembly and dynamics during cell migration are tightly controlled by signaling and cytoskeletal regulators, resulting in polarized Golgi distribution that supports directional migration. Here, ...
