BUFFALO, N.Y. -- In cells, numerous important biochemical functions take place within spherical chambers made from proteins and RNA. These compartments are akin to specialized rooms inside a house, ...
Two studies by scientists at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a new way to look into the inner workings of cells—in particular, to track the flow of ions inside the many tiny organelles ...
Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be ...
A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have ...
Viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus change the interior structure of the cells they infect. These changes occur at the level of individual cell components – the organelles – and can ...
Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
Improving our understanding of the impact obesity has on individual cells could go a long way to preventing some of its deleterious downstream effects, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...
