The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

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

Salmon provides DHA and EPA, key omega-3s that support brain structure and reduce inflammation. Avocados offer ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

MIT researchers have found that tiny DNA loops persist even as cells divide, challenging the idea that the genome resets during mitosis. These structures may explain how cells retain genetic ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

Researchers have uncovered a shared brain cell breakdown mechanism behind Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, revealing how two different proteins can disrupt neurons in the same devastating way.

How are sugars attached to proteins? Sugars are commonly attached to proteins in a process called glycosylation. This fascinating modification involves linking sugar molecules to specific amino acids ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...
