Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as "guardians" of mitochondria, small ...

A recent study published in Science Translational Medicine involving scientists from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute ...

Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows.

The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the genetic blueprint for the body's biologic machinery. As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many ...

Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of all cancers. It occurs in cells lining the deepest part of the skin's outer layer.

"These changes make the apical membrane—the top of the cell—less stiff and certain constituents of the tight junctions more mobile, without however affecting the barrier formed by these ...

The team has also proven the concept by building a pouch-type cell battery with the new membrane, showing it works well and could be commercially viable. Researchers created a very thin solid ...

String theory is the best candidate we have for a theory of everything. Bend to its rule and the various tangled theories of conventional physics emerge as part of a sublime, higher-dimensional ...

"It's much like doing a medical CT scan where you can see inside of the cell non-destructively, so you don't have to cut the cell open," says Carolyn Larabell, a cell biologist at UC San Francisco.
