When our body fights an infection, the immune system must quickly activate defenses and trigger a beneficial inflammatory ...

An investigation by researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in the US has filled in a missing link between the toxic build-up of proteins in the neurodegenerative condition ...

The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching ...

This video has no sound. This video has no sound. Powerhouses of the cell. This video of a human bone-cancer cell shows its three nuclei (blue —probably the result of failed cell divisions), actin ...

Study findings map out a new way in which antiviral signals engage with cellular metabolism to balance defense and repair.

After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune function and activating cGAS-STING and type I interferon signaling that ...

People need to sleep, and sleep deprivation can cause many changes in the brain. But we have a poor understanding of why sleep is so crucial. New research has examined a fruit fly model to assess how ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production. Changes in mitochondrial function is now widely recognized as a ...
