Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

A novel 3D cell culture method has been developed that encourages liver progenitor cells to self-organize and form blood vessel networks for the first time. The development of accurate liver organoids ...

Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...
