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 ...

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

The regulation of cellular functions such as preserving genetic information, producing energy and building blocks, and sending and receiving signals to and from the microenvironment is achieved ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new protective communication circuit between specialized immune cells in the intestines, a ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...
