Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

Abstract: In this article, we present an efficient implementation of the spectral-domain method of moments (SD-MoM) for the analysis of periodic multilayered structures in the case where asymmetric ...

1)CellGO is able to predict cell type-specific pathways activated by a single gene. 2)CellGO is able to generate a four-level hierarchy of biological insights for a gene set: 1.CellGO can select cell ...

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.

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

It is well established that cellulose synthesis in higher plants requires three different but related cellulose synthase (CESA) isoforms. Here the authors provide convincing biochemical and cryo ...

White blood cells help your body fight inflammation and infections. A high or low white blood cell count may be associated with a number of short-term or long-term health conditions. White blood cells ...
