Lysosomes, historically viewed as simple degradative organelles, are now recognized as pivotal signaling hubs crucial for cellular homeostasis. A growing ...

Aquaglyceroporin Aqp10, a protein channel for water and glycerol, selectively permeates urea and boric acid due to its unique ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in ...

Cancer cells are pretty bold and clever—they hijack cellular survival and healing processes in order to fuel their growth, ...

They derive their energy from differences in the concentration of hydrogen ions across some of these membranes ...

GFP knockin mouse tissue and ultra-fresh synaptonerosomes indicate that the postsynaptic density is a not a conserved feature of glutamatergic synapses in the mouse brain.

Scientists have developed a novel tool that can boost energy production in brain cells and reverse memory loss in mouse models of dementia. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that ...

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 ...

Wingless (Wg)/Wnt signaling plays a critical role in both development and adult tissue homeostasis. In the Drosophila larval wing disc epithelium, the orderly delivery of Wg/Wnt to the apical and ...
