Mitochondria: everyone’s favorite organelle. The “powerhouse of the cell” is vital to basically every function your body ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Cells are not isolated units; they continuously exchange proteins, genetic material, and even entire organelles with their ...

Researchers have identified a crucial ion channel, TMEM175, that acts like an overflow valve in the cell’s recycling system. It regulates acidity inside lysosomes, ensuring they function properly.

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

The cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a central role in protein synthesis, folding, and calcium (Ca²⁺) storage. When ...

EPFL scientists have discovered that a simple shape change in mitochondria helps cells evenly distribute their mitochondrial ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

The study, “Integration of phospho-signaling and transcriptomics in single cells reveals distinct Th17 cell fates,” was published in Cell Reports. In the study, first author Seth Fortmann, M.D., Ph.D.

We may not be screaming Jai Shri Ram from the top of our roofs, but if there is one Indian deity who has been presiding over collective conscience in the last decade or so, it has to be Lord Ram. The ...
