Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...
Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...
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 ...
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...
New research shows how a cellular nanomachine controls protein delivery, helping explain how small failures disrupt ...
Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...
