Food in, energy out? It’s not as simple as that. How do cells meet our bodies’ ever changing energy needs? In most animal cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound with high potential ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting ...

The study is based on the analysis of human senescent cells in a specific tumor model — melanoma, which affects skin cells known as melanocytes — and, more specifically, melanocytes exposed to ...

A new study describes a molecular mechanism that could drive the design of strategies to eliminate senescent cells in cancer ...

After treating a tumor with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cells known as senescent cells can appear. These are cells that do ...

The traditional definition of death as “the irreversible cessation of an organism’s general functioning” is being challenged by observations of persistent cellular activity and adaptation.

The upper part of the leaf is where the light falls, and it contains a type of cell called a palisade cell. This is adapted to absorb a lot of light. It has lots of chloroplasts and is shaped like ...

Molecular adaptation of fascial tissues: effects of physical exercise, ageing, sex hormones and inflammation Molecular crosstalk between extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and cellular components is ...
