Protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading bacteria are identified and removed in healthy cells. An international ...

Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

Marking and removing harmful substancesAll living cells have to constantly monitor their own components and dispose of those that are potentially ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

A schematic overview illustrating how the immune microenvironment is involved in diseases across various systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Targeting cellular ...

Strength training exercises may play a vital role in activating our body's cellular cleanup processes, new research suggests. This cellular spring cleaning is essential for maintaining the healthy ...
