After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, forms an abnormal connection with an enzyme called ClpP. This enzyme normally ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. " We know each of the proteins ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases ...

Researchers identified DMTF1 as a key transcription factor driving neural stem cell regeneration during aging. The study ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells are found ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...

Every winter, as the air sharpens and scarves return to shoulders, an old visitor also makes a reappearance: the flu. It announces itself with fever, aching limbs, and the familiar drip of a runny ...
