A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

(Nanowerk News) Cells are the basic units of life – but many of their fundamental processes happen so fast and at such small length scales that current scientific tools and methods can't keep up, ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Exposure to air pollution while in the womb is linked to alterations in proteins that can be detected after a baby is born, and which affect cell processes such as autophagy, the 'self-eating' of ...

Goal Is to Optimize Growth Conditions for Sustaining High Productivity in Culture Maintaining cell lines in culture, under optimal growth conditions, is essential for production of many biological ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Most research labs can make cells that produce antibodies. The trick is making those antibodies in sufficient quantity and quality to use throughout clinical trials and for manufacturing scale-up.
