It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced ...

The human body consists of around 50–100 trillion cells, which come in various types, each with its own function. Depending on their type, cells ensure that the body operates smoothly.

In a new study, published today (12 July) in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialised tissue of the cardiac ...

The study reports the first high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human MON1A-CCZ1 (HsMC1) complex bound to nucleotide-free RAB7A at a resolution of 2.85 &Aring ...
