For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle ...

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 ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that a gene long known for shaping the skin's ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
