Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

University of Cincinnati structural biologists are the first in the world to visualize a key cell protein as part of newly ...

The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

Cells are the basic units of life — but when it comes to cells, if you think basic means simple, think again. Cells are complicated, with many millions of biochemical reactions per second seething ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.

While a strand of human DNA is approximately 6.5 feet long, it is folded into a cell nucleus that is only 10 micrometers in ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

Every cell in your body runs on mitochondria, the tiny power plants that convert food into usable fuel. For decades, the ...

All living organisms are made of cells, which are the smallest unit of life. Plants and animals have up to trillions of cells that work together to produce ever more intricate organization and ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
