Engineered cell therapies rely on synthetic receptors to transduce external signals into intracellular responses. The precise ...

A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the ...

Structure. Function. Nucleus. Houses genetic material and controls cell activities, including growth and reproduction. Nucleolus. A spherical structure found in the nucleus that produces ribosomal RNA ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited ...

These efficient and specialized features make prokaryotic cells highly adaptable and capable of thriving in diverse and often extreme environments. Table 1 below provides an overview of the key ...

The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones. Aging and stress can induce cellular senescence in osteocytes ...

Yale researchers and their colleagues in Hungary have discovered that cells in the hypothalamus — an area of the brain that controls functions like hunger and body temperature — play a major role in ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells ...

Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...
