A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...
Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...
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 ...
As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...
A quick revision guide covering key concepts, biomolecules, cell organelles, and essential NEET-style MCQs to boost exam preparation.
Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the ‘dark genome’ that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the ...
Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...
The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...
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 ...
