Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

A high-pressure method of instantaneously freezing cells has proven to be effective in the first empirical validation of its ...

How did cells evolve a process to end their own lives? Recent research suggests that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, first arose billions of years ago in bacteria with a primitive ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

14-3-3 proteins are a highly conserved family of regulatory molecules that occupy a central position in cellular signalling networks by interacting with a diverse range of client proteins. These ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls constitutive exocytosis: the uninterrupted delivery of spherical molecular packages to ...

This video of a so-called HeLa cell dividing demonstrates how sensitive the cell division process is. While all is going well at the beginning of the video, as the clip nears its end you can see the ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

A new study from WashU Medicine identifies a previously unknown way that cells purge waste in a process that helps them revert to a stem cell-like state to promote healing after injury. Here, three ...
