Mammalian oocytes utilize a conserved combination of cell cycle control, cytoskeletal organization, and polarity pathways that are fundamentally shared with other vertebrates and invertebrates.

A new study shows that ultramarathons damage and replenish red blood cells in ways that could help treat cancer patients.

Ubiquinol can also support overall well-being during and after menopause. In one study, 80% of women with menopausal symptoms who took 200 mg of Kaneka Ubiquinol ® for at least 60 days reported a ...

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 /> ...

Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously hidden biological interaction that helps explain why brain cells die in Parkinson’s disease and how that damage might be stopped. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the body's supply of these essential constituents. The tubule can be easily ...

Abstract: Immunomechanobiology, the study of how physical forces influence the behavior and function of immune cells, is a rapidly growing area of research. It is becoming increasingly recognized that ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
