Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart, lungs and intestines to carry out specialized functions, cells contain organelles (‘little organs’) that carry out essential processes and ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

Pleased to announce the first patient has been dosed in our Phase 1 clinical trial, evaluating our lead candidate for optic ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Selecting specific cells to be used in an investigational therapy has led to improved recovery of heart function in a new study employing a lab model for myocardial infarction, the medical term for ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Critical Path Institute® (C-Path), through its Type 1 Diabetes Consortium, today reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ...
