Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have for the first time created human intestinal organoids that include ...

Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system. It regulates acidity inside lysosomes, ensuring they function properly.

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 9. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a hallmark of aging, playing a central role in age-associated decline ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...
