Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

The immune system provides an integral defense against cancer growth and progression. Activating an anti-tumor immune response relies on several biological steps that can ultimately result in the ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

At the 2024 annual meeting of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT) in Vancouver, Canada, Hélio Tomás, PhD, senior research associate at the Instituto de Biologia Experimental e ...

Cell image analysis software is a potent tool for high-content imaging that digitizes and analyzes intricate experiment data. Users may quickly access various evaluation systems, ranging from 3D ...
