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 ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...

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

Researchers found that the body’s natural recycling system, the lysosome, plays a vital role in removing the protein that drives premature aging. When this system breaks down, aging speeds up. By ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

The human body has long been studied through the lens of chemistry and electrical signaling, but an emerging field of research is adding a fascinating new dimension: light. Scientists have discovered ...

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 ...

A faulty ion channel function is a consistent biological feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ...

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

Residual CFTR function in cystic fibrosis was associated with better glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, with CFTR ...
