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 ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes.

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

The endoplasmic reticulum is usually the biggest organelle in eukaryotic cells and is invovled in many crucial processes... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

Regenerative medicine has gained increased attention as clinicians and researchers search for better ways to address chronic disease and age related decline. Within this evolving field, progress often ...

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

Kris Burkewitz, assistant professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University, describes a new way by which cells adapt to the aging process: by actively remodeling the endoplasmic ...

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 ...

Substance use disorders (SUDs) present a formidable challenge to public health globally, with recent statistics from the U.S.

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

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.
