UCSF scientists discovered that an overlooked cell type in the brain plays a central role in healing traumatic brain injury.

In a pioneering discovery, researchers at UNIST have captured, for the first time, the elusive intermediate stages involved in the pairing of cell membrane proteins. Contrary to long-held beliefs that ...

Japan’s Keio University awards the prize annually to honor contributions in medicine and life sciences. Brangwynne is being ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka find that mitochondria in macrophages can be degraded through the lesser-known path ...

Researchers showed that many mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle during synthesis, guided by folding patterns and structural signals. This discovery revises decades of biochemical models. Mitoc ...

A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have found a previously unknown structure in mammalian cells, something they ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

Altmetric provides a collated score for online attention across various platforms and media. See more details The plasma membrane potential has been linked to cell proliferation for more than 40 years ...

MAPK signaling works like a molecular switchboard inside epithelial cells, turning outside stress into gene-level commands. IL-33 is an alarm signal cytokine that normally stays tucked inside airway ...

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes' own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it's all about ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered using cryo-electron tomography, which literally freezes them in time, and ...

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...
