New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

Cell signalling pathways are central to maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating essential functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and repair. In both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, ...

Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

Cell cycle checkpoint-related genes (CCCRGs) are implicated in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma ...

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology investigated the role of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase 42E member 1 (SDR42E1) enzyme in regulating sterol metabolism and ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...
