Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

Scientists decoded basic molecular processes in metabolism, investigated premenstrual chocolate cravings, and figured out how ...

Fungal infections kill millions of people each year, and modern medicine is struggling to keep up. But researchers at ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells helps them withstand dramatic changes in volume. These cells ...
