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 ...

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and they are the foundation of everything—from energy levels to digestion, brain function, and movement. When your cells function efficiently, your body ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

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 ...

BAP31 is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane protein predominantly localised within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it functions as a molecular chaperone and sorting factor. It plays a ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

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 ...

Who doesn’t love indulging in chocolate once in a while? One can never get enough of it. But apart from being delicious, did ...

The integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with advanced metabolic profiling tools has revolutionized the ...
