Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

The immune system provides an integral defense against cancer growth and progression. Activating an anti-tumor immune response relies on several biological steps that can ultimately result in the ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

An aphorism from the world of chess is applicable to biomanufacturing: “You’ve found a good move—now look for an even better one.” Having achieved leaps-and-bounds improvements in volumetric ...

When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In ...

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...
