Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

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 ...

Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

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 ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures are ...

Senescence is a process in which a cell ages and stops dividing but does not die. In keratinocytes, or skin cells, senescence is marked by depolarization of membrane potential (Vmem), the electrical ...

Researchers use nanoflower-enhanced stem cells to supply extra mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy production and ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Researchers found that rabies virus uses a shape-shifting protein to hijack RNA and control vital cell functions. Viruses are astonishingly efficient, able to take over our cells and control essential ...

In a study published in the journal Nucleic Acid Research, a research team at Karolinska Institutet has performed a ...
