Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Five years ago, during 2020 Battery Day, Tesla unveiled the 4680 cells as the most advanced battery tech in the world. However, CEO Elon Musk now regrets he pursued the dry battery electrode process, ...

During Earth’s early days, bacteria developed a self-destruct strategy for detecting and destroying phages before they’re able to take over the cell’s machinery. While this does wonders for our immune ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...
