Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds. A new ...

Researchers have developed experimental compounds that make cells burn more calories by subtly tweaking how mitochondria ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Over the past year, most of your body has replaced itself cell by cell. What can we learn from other animals’ dramatic feats ...

Humans aren't the only biological systems capable of breaking generational cycles: The cells that make us are, too. New research shows that cells detect when their parent had difficulty dividing and ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

The results could shed light on why the animals rarely get cancer. But the researchers’ ultimate goal of bringing back woolly mammoths is still aspirational. By Carl Zimmer When the biotechnology firm ...

Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
