A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

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 ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the ...

Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant ...

A group of nerve cells essential for cognition may be especially vulnerable to DNA damage upon exposure to inflammation in MS.

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...
