The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a “hemifusome” by its discoverers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now developed a method that allows for the first time to reconstruct the temporal development—the evolution—of cancerous cells from a single tissue sample.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that psilocybin improved cell longevity and boosted survival in aged mice. Lab-grown cells exposed to psilocin lived longer and showed better stress resistance.

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists say they have shed new light on the location and function of power-generating waves on the cell membrane.

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing through narrow spaces.

Researchers have developed a new optical 3D imaging tool for live-cell imaging, dynamic biological studies and multicellular assembly.

A study reveals that reducing the amino acid cysteine triggers fat browning and weight loss. Researchers found calorie restriction lowers cysteine in human fat tissue, while animal models showed dramatic fat loss when cysteine was depleted.

New research has shown how harmful RNA clusters form in neurological disorders, and how they can be prevented and disassembled.

The skeletal muscles of men and women process glucose and fats in different ways, potentially explaining why metabolic diseases manifest differently.

Landmark research on MCL-1, a critical protein that is an attractive target for cancer drug development, helps explain why some promising cancer treatments are causing serious side effects.
