A new study published in Nature Communications has uncovered a communication pathway between mitochondria and RNA granules ...

Cell signalling pathways are central to maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating essential functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and repair. In both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, ...

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a ...

An international study led by a scientist at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine is opening new frontiers in the ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...

Purinergic signaling, mediated by extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP, has been increasingly studied for its role in regulating cellular communication. A new review by researchers in ...

The distinct aging rates of neural progenitor cells and Wnt signaling dictate mammalian cortical layer proportions.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)—even mild concussions—may trigger a chain reaction in the brain that disrupts neuronal communication, long-term memory and cognition, according to University of ...

A newly identified cell type in planarian flatworms can detonate itself and destroy neighboring cells in less than two ...
