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 ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered that declining levels of phosphatidylcholine may be a major cause of age-related mitochondrial ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Claudia Rückert, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. She received her bachelor’s degree in biology and master's ...

The cellular changes induced by cold water plunges have been revealed. We’ve all heard about the potential health benefits of cold-water plunges, but what’s actually happening on a cellular level?

Rising temperatures disrupt human cellular stability by impairing proteostasis, altering mitochondrial function, reprogramming gene expression, and reshaping immune responses, ultimately shifting ...
