After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

The process by which glycoRNAs are created and deployed to the cell surface has been identified by Boston Children’s Hospital researchers.

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 ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

A faulty ion channel function is a consistent biological feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), providing long-awaited validation for hundreds of thousands of ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...

The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

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 ...
