Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Advancements in spatial proteomics enable detailed tissue mapping, linking protein localization to disease mechanisms and ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

If we step outside on a misty morning, we can watch nature perform one of its miracles. Tiny droplets of dew begin forming on leaves, grass, and window panes as the cool air settles. Water simply ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...
