Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

New research shows Glycolysis -- the process of converting sugar into energy -- plays a key role in early development. More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward ...

Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

Archaea—one of the three primary domains of life alongside bacteria and eukaryotes—are often overlooked and sometimes ...

Amino acids are the building blocks that form polypeptides and ultimately proteins. Consequently, they are fundamental components of our bodies and vital for physiological functions such as protein ...

ATⅡ cells play a crucial role in maintaining alveolar structure, stabilizing intrapulmonary function ... Advances in mitochondrial biology have led to new therapeutic approaches, though human clinical ...

Proteins are the molecular building blocks and engines of the cell, and are involved in practically all life processes. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry investigate the ...

Despite ≈2 decades since its discovery, the role of the 9p21.3 locus in cells of the vasculature remains incompletely resolved. We differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells from risk, nonrisk ...
