A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

A research team from the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) and the School of Optical and Electronic ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Fish treated with SGLT2 inhibitors maintained healthier kidneys as they aged. Their kidneys preserved denser networks of capillaries, retained a stronger filtration barrier, and showed more stable ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

Cellular findings show Telomir-Zn modulates intracellular metal balance linked to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction ...

Researchers describe a new way by which cells adapt to the aging process: by actively remodeling the endoplasmic reticulum, ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
