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 ...

Scientists reverse eye cell aging with ER-100 gene therapy that reprograms retinal neurons to younger states, offering hope ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

In specialized chambers throughout leading medical centers worldwide, patients breathe pure oxygen at pressures significantly higher than normal atmospheric conditions. This treatment, known as ...

The integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with advanced metabolic profiling tools has revolutionized the ...
