Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

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 ...

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

Researchers have identified a specific protein complex inside neurons that tags toxic tau fragments for destruction, offering the clearest explanation yet for why certain brain cells survive while ...

Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of ...

Creative Biolabs, a global leader in antibody engineering, today announced its optimization of ADCC and Fc-mediated ...

BACKGROUND: The entrance of naive T cells into lymph nodes (LNs) is a crucial step for induction of heart transplant acceptance under costimulatory blockade. Specialized blood vessels within the LN ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own ...

After a long trail race, some of your red blood cells may not bend the way they should. That matters because red blood cells have a tight job description.

Scientists discovered a multi-step mechanism through which the sleep-deprived brain communicates with gut stem cells, leading to a decline in normal regenerative activity.

A new electronic implant system can help lab‑grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a basis for novel, cell-based therapies for diabetes.

Blaise Agüera y Arcus argues that prediction is the fundamental principle behind intelligence and “may be the whole story”.
