Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

Immune cells have a surprising and critical role in controlling movement and bridging neural activity with metabolic demands, concludes a groundbreaking study published in Nature by researchers at the ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

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 ...

Aggressive cancer cells are masters of movement. When they spread through the body, they cause metastasis, which significantly reduces a person's chance of survival. For this spreading to take place, ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

When fighting disease, our immune cells need to reach their target quickly. Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) now discovered that immune cells actively generate ...

(Reuters) - Neuralstem Inc said its stem-cell therapy significantly improved movement in rats with broken spines, increasing the likelihood of the technology being used to treat people with spinal ...
