Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

Marine animals, such as the extremely simple flatworm Trichoplax, are ideal model organisms for studying the early ...

Complex 3D structures of cells called organoids could be used to test treatments for spinal-cord damage that can lead to ...

Explore how HPV tumours are targeted by innovative vaccine designs that enhance immune response against cancer effectively.

Scientists discovered that rearranging a peptide’s placement in a spherical nucleic acid vaccine dramatically improves immune response against HPV-driven tumors. The findings have the potential to ...

A surprisingly small detail in the skin may play an outsized role in how young skin looks and how well it repairs scars. Researchers say the clue is a microscopic structure found in humans, pigs, and ...

Researchers uncover dynamic “dancing” molecules in spinal cord organoids, offering insights into neural development and ...

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating ...

Technology impulse for the Lake Constance region: The new Single Cell Centre at the University of Konstanz offers technology and expertise to study cells individually and at high resolution – for ...

Researchers show sleep protects neuronal mitochondria by transferring oxidative lipid damage to glial and blood cells. The ...
