Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune ...

Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. Another recent study says ...

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical School (New York, USA) have found a "mortality timer" in the human body. They claim ...

Bits of DNA from mitochondria can skip surprisingly fast into our genome and may reduce lifespan M ost of us remember two ...

Rice University bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells.

Smaller nucleoli slow aging, acting as a "mortality timer," while larger nucleoli lead to cell death by destabilizing rDNA. The secret to cellular youth may lie in maintaining a small nucleolus—a ...

A study from the Autonomous University of Barcelona reveals that polymer-based tea bags release billions of nanoplastics and ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

They found that treating these cells with the toxin latrunculin B, which inhibits the formation of actin filaments, caused parts of the cell membrane to curve inwards and form structures known as ...
