A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and they are the foundation of everything—from energy levels to digestion, brain function, and movement. When your cells function efficiently, your body ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...
