Scientists have discovered how the amino acid leucine boosts the body’s energy production by protecting key mitochondrial ...

Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin have created a data science framework to better understand how cells travel through the body. The researchers ...

University of Tokyo researchers have created a powerful new microscope that captures both forward- and back-scattered light ...

Circulating immune cells are constantly on the lookout for the presence of any pathogenic intruders in the body. Once a threat is sensed in a specific tissue, immune cells need to squeeze and migrate ...

A research team including a scientist from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, Japan, ...

This amoeba, a single-celled organism, acquires energy by engulfing nutrients in the form of a yeast cell (red). Through a process called phagocytosis, the amoeba encloses the yeast cell with its ...

Scientists uncovered how the amino acid leucine enhances mitochondrial efficiency by preserving crucial proteins that drive ...

Athens, Ga. – Researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered a central switch that controls whether cells move or remain stationary. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the ...

Researchers have overturned conventional wisdom on how cell movement across all species is controlled, solving the structure of a protein that cuts power to the cell “motor”. The protein could be a ...

A new imaging technique that makes it possible to match motor proteins with the cargo they carry within a cell is upending a standard view of how cellular traffic reaches the correct destination. The ...
