Every human cell is surrounded by a sugar coating known as the glycocalyx. It not only interacts with its environment but also reveals a great deal about cells' internal states. Scientists at the Max ...

Researchers may have discovered a new way to diagnose and treat major depression at the earliest stage of the condition, giving patients the best opportunity for recovery. The research is published in ...

New AI framework: RegVelo combines RNA velocity and gene regulatory network modeling to predict how cells change and which genes drive those changes. Tested in zebrafish: The model identified known ...

While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that ...

Researchers at Rice University have engineered living cells to use a 21st amino acid that illuminates protein changes in real time, providing a new method for observing changes within cells. The ...

Macrophages use cell‑volume changes to sense danger, reprogram gene expression, and heighten inflammatory and antiviral ...

Analysis of 1.6 million brain cells from older adults has captured the cellular changes that occur in Alzheimer's early stages, revealing potential new targets and routes for prevention. An analysis ...

This illustration shows the major cell types affected by cellular senescence in various skeletal diseases. As the body ages, senescent cells accumulate in different tissues—including bone, cartilage, ...

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 ...
