How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Mitochondrial transplantation is an emerging technique aimed at restoring cellular energy production in diseases marked by ...

Polyamines—natural molecules found in every living cell—have become stars in the longevity world for their ability to boost cellular cleanup and support healthy aging. But there’s a dark twist: high ...

PHC Corporation's Biomedical Division (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Nobuaki Nakamura; hereinafter "PHCbi"), a global provider of laboratory sample storage and cell cultivation solutions ...

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Microsoft this week confirmed that it is killing off the Windows desktop application of a free productivity app called Sway. The app was released more than ten years ago and has been part of the ...

Cells are the basic unit of life and come in many different sizes and shapes. In animals, cell size is exquisitely matched to cell function: the smallest cells (such as red blood cells and sperm) shed ...
