Cell biology researchers at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have made a discovery about two ciliary ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

Primary cilia play a powerful role in how cells sense their surroundings. They help guide embryo development and ensure ...

From causing muscle loss to raising the risk of blood clots, long-haul space missions can have a profound impact on the human body.

A new study indicates that the harsh environment of space travel may accelerate changes in the human body typically associated with aging. The research sent human tissues into low Earth orbit and ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

Unlike traditional approaches that typically test one protein target or drug at a time in hopes of identifying an effective ...

Chromosomes are structures made of protein and DNA code, and would unravel and lose proper function without the telomeres ...

A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have ...

A type of immune response that can form long‐lasting immunological memory after encountering pathogens allowing them to quickly respond against those pathogens upon reinfection and generate ...

Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out.
