As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Here's some science trivia for you: unlike the inner retina in most animals (including us), birds' inner retinas function ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...

Researchers describe a new way by which cells adapt to the aging process: by actively remodeling the endoplasmic reticulum, ...

Scientists discovered why some neurons resist tau toxicity, identifying CRL5SOCS4 as a crucial defense and linking ...
