The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new ...

Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of ...

A molecular geneticist at Montana State University has discovered a cellular process once believed impossible by scientists—the creation of the amino acid cysteine within a living cell when the cell's ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

Scientists found tiny cell "footprints" that influenza viruses may use to spread, opening new paths for antiviral research.

Transition from the manual processes that are performed during the initial research and development (R&D) stage to automated processes for later and commercial stage cell therapy manufacturing can be ...

In the case of SARS-COV-2, vROs are composed of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) that originate upon remodelling of the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (Fig. 1). The biogenesis of the vROs ...

Not only does our body change with age, but so does our immune system. A recent study led by the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) shows exactly how immune cells age and how ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to new methods for ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...

As we age, our immune system also ages. We become more susceptible to infections, vaccinations work less well and the risk of developing immune-related disorders such as autoimmune diseases increases.
