RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

Scientists decoded basic molecular processes in metabolism, investigated premenstrual chocolate cravings, and figured out how ...

In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease ...

A study published in Science Advances shares new insights into how two of the most common types of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells kill cancer. Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, ...

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

In a new study, researchers identified a molecule produced by a particular type of brain cell that reversed the cognitive decline seen in both healthy aging and dementia. It provides a deeper ...

While we all benefit from some exposure to the sun, the sun's rays are known to be harmful when we aren't protected; UV radiation in sunlight can damage DNA. But scientists have now also determined ...
