Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter ...

When cells experience sudden physical stress, like stretching or pressure, they can activate a fast, protective mechanism ...

Many diseases are driven by proteins interacting with each other inside cells. But blocking these interactions with drugs is ...

Biologists have identified molecular anchors that secure plant cell membranes to their walls during water loss, providing insights for developing drought-resistant crops.

A new method screens large libraries of synthetic cyclic peptides to identify compounds that can enter cells for therapeutic effect.

When thinking of the immune system, most people imagine white blood cells putting up a fight against invading germs in the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

In response to stress or damage, cells undergo senescence and stop dividing. However, if senescent cells accumulate in tissues over the long term, chronic inflammation occurs and the risk of cancer ...

Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges of modern biomedicine. The focus is particularly on mitochondria—tiny ...

A newly released International Organization for Standardization (ISO) global standard for mammalian cell viability brings greater consistency to how cellular state is assessed across biologics and ...
