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 ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...

The integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with advanced metabolic profiling tools has revolutionized the ...
