A review published in the journal Molecular Biomedicine provides a comprehensive overview of the METTL family, a group of methyltransferase-like proteins crucial for cellular function. METTL family ...

From ATP production to cellular repair, mitochondrial resilience may help determine how well cells age and which strategies ...

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 ...

For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little ...

Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

The human body has long been studied through the lens of chemistry and electrical signaling, but an emerging field of research is adding a fascinating new dimension: light. Scientists have discovered ...
