Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

For a long time, the origin of complex life has seemed like a chapter torn out of the book of biology. The middle has been ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...

That instinct to zoom in has carried Lillian Hutchinson, now a senior chemical engineering major in the Honors College at the U of A, from a childhood fascination to the leading edge of regenerative ...
