The research was performed in the context of the ImmGenT project within the ImmGen consortium (supported by R24072073).

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never ...

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research. An often-ignored type of cell in the brain ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...
