Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Resurrection beyond cellular disintegration is simply impossible. However, when a person dies, cell death itself isn’t instant. Researchers are taking advantage of a timed window during which they can ...

A new study maps millions of cells across organs and shows how aging changes the body in coordinated and surprising ways.

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...

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