A team led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a genome-scale reference map that details ...

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 ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

A review published in the journal Molecular Biomedicine provides a comprehensive overview of the METTL family, a group of methyltransferase-like proteins crucial for cellular function. METTL family ...

Discover how the amino acid leucine enhances energy production and protects mitochondrial health in our cells.

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 ...

Could this work to prevent blindness and eventually turn back the clock in other organs too?

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 ...

Discover SpudCell, the synthetic cell created from lifeless chemicals that eats, grows, and reproduces, bringing us closer to ...

Researchers at Hebrew University use RNA trans-splicing to program cells for disease detection ...

Aging affects every organ in the body, yet we still know little about how the ovary changes over time. In a new study published in Nature Aging, Yale researchers created one of the most detailed maps ...
