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 ...

Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cells organize their molecules into distinct functional areas. While textbooks usually refer to membrane-bound organelles ...

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 ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change ...
