Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

The immune system provides an integral defense against cancer growth and progression. Activating an anti-tumor immune response relies on several biological steps that can ultimately result in the ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

(Nanowerk News) Cells are the basic units of life – but many of their fundamental processes happen so fast and at such small length scales that current scientific tools and methods can't keep up, ...

At the 2024 annual meeting of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT) in Vancouver, Canada, Hélio Tomás, PhD, senior research associate at the Instituto de Biologia Experimental e ...
