By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, ...

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy that significantly slowed motor function loss in preclinical models of amyotrophic ...

A team of Indian American scientists led by Pallavi Gopal are working to learn more about the dynamics of a protein to help ...

In this article, you’ll learn how eukaryotic cells operate, providing a solid foundation for understanding how life functions ...

In diseases due to exposure to toxic particles like gout, macrophages elicit separate pathways for inflammation and lysosomal ...

“PDI is like a double agent,” Dr Shadfar explains. “In healthy cells, it repairs DNA and helps prevent disease. But in cancer, it gets hijacked — it ends up protecting the tumour instead of the body.

The NIH grant builds on findings from Pitychoutis’ lab under a $148,077 National Institutes of Health grant awarded in 2018. His team discovered the function of phospholamban, which regulates calcium ...

Interestingly, actin associated proteins such as protein 4.1, 53 myosin, 14 and aII-spectrin 15 have recently been identified in the nucleus as well and might be implicated in movement of DNA within ...

People often refer to mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy necessary to power cells, but they are also involved in cell signaling and death ...

Thus, the nucleus and the muon "sense" each other much more intensely, and the wave functions overlap more strongly, as they say in physics. That makes the muon the perfect probe for measuring the ...
