For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed ...

Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair, each cell contains a dense mix of proteins, organelles, and molecular ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

One of oncology's biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others ...

Cells are crowded with proteins and nucleic acids. A new study measures subcellular densities across organisms to uncover how material is distributed. (Nanowerk News) Just as life pulsates in big ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...
