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 ...
Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed ...
Researchers have identified how cells recognize and suppress transposons, mobile DNA elements that can destabilize genomes.
The element sodium plays a key role in nervous system function. An international research team headed by the Institute of ...

Scientists just cracked why older cells quietly lose their energy — mitochondria drop the outer sacs that once protected them, and the rest of the cell goes with them
Every cell in your body runs on mitochondria, the tiny power plants that convert food into usable fuel. For decades, the ...
B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
The death of an organism does not spell the end for its cells, according to new research. Cells have been shown to continue to function even after the organism they originated from is deceased, often ...
Researchers have developed an experimental hydrogel that helps transplanted insulin-producing cells survive and function better in diabetic mice. The gel supports blood vessel growth around the graft ...
