Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

Mitochondria can lose power like batteries, but they can potentially be regenerated—a promising development than can be used ...

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 ...

Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

Reducing calorie intake helps cancer-fighting immune cells do their jobs more effectively, reports a study by Van Andel ...

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures are ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and cell function without genetic modification.

Senescence is a process in which a cell ages and stops dividing but does not die. In keratinocytes, or skin cells, senescence is marked by depolarization of membrane potential (Vmem), the electrical ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acid Research, a research team at Karolinska Institutet has performed a ...

Scientists are edging closer to something that once sounded like science fiction: using living cells themselves to recharge ...
