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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

University of Georgia researchers have found a central switch which controls the movement of cells. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the increased movement of tumor cells and in the ...

A model of the expansion and contraction of pulvinar motor cells associated with the opening and closing of pulvinar slits in legume leaf movement. Credit: Plant Physiology (2023). DOI: 10.1093/plphys ...

Imagine if you could track the movement of every single cell in a developing embryo, discovering what each undifferentiated cell turned into. It could allow you to reverse-engineer the construction of ...
