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 ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) show that active mitochondria ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Often referred to as the “master antioxidant,” glutathione can be thought of as the body’s built-in defense system, operating ...

A single-atom nanozyme mimicking cytochrome c oxidase restores mitochondrial energy production in stem cells, shifting their ...

As we age, our ability to maintain healthy blood and a strong immune system gradually declines, largely because hematopoietic ...

The immune system acts as a critical sentinel of organismal aging, integrating the sensing of physiological states with the ...
