By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Cytochrome c is a pivotal haemoprotein that resides within the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where it fulfils essential roles in cellular respiration and the regulation of apoptosis. Functioning ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in ...

Researchers say certain herbs and spices may help protect cells from damage and slow some biological processes linked to aging.
