Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Mitochondrial transplantation is an emerging technique aimed at restoring cellular energy production in diseases marked by ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...

A cell model that replicates the structure and function of the human intestine has been developed, creating an evaluation platform capable of more accurately predicting adverse effects of new drugs.

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...

As populations age worldwide, the decline of the immune system, a process known as immunosenescence, has become a critical ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

Researchers reveal that lack of sleep damages the myelin sheath in the brain and slows the rate of neural signal transmission ...

Asharq Al Awsat Japan has approved ground-breaking stem-cell treatments for Parkinson's and severe heart failure, one of the manufacturers and media reports said Friday, with the therapies expected to ...

Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom ...
