The immune cells that protect us from infection and cancer seek out a wide array of fuel sources to power their function—including some long thought to be cellular waste products.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Lysosomes – membrane-bound structures within each cell of humans and all animals – are sometimes known as the cells' "garbage disposals" or "cellular janitors." The structures ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Microtubule Dynamics and Cellular Functions Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Microtubule Dynamics and Cellular Functions.

Engineering cellular function without living cells Date: March 25, 2019 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: Scientists have come up with a systematic method for studying ...

A function-focused approach is designed to directly assess the biological activity of single cells rather than relying solely on inferred data. This method evaluates real-time cellular responses to ...

Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called mitochondria breathe life into our bodies, buzzing with energy as they produce the ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue.
