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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Tiny structures inside your cells keep your body alive by turning food into fuel. These structures, called mitochondria, ...

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 ...

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

In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acid Research, a research team at Karolinska Institutet has performed a ...

Researchers have discovered a defect in how cells produce exosomes, a problem linked to a mutation found in patients with dementia. They may be incredibly small, but their impact on human health could ...

Researchers found that rabies virus uses a shape-shifting protein to hijack RNA and control vital cell functions. Viruses are astonishingly efficient, able to take over our cells and control essential ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Scientists are learning how to revive faltering human cells by loading them with fresh power plants, effectively repairing ...
