A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

Early mammalian ancestors were nocturnal, sleeping during the day while the dinosaurs dominated the land. However, some mammalian lineages, including human ancestors, independently transitioned to ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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

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

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, ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...
