Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University have observed the same type of programmed cell death in microalgae as in humans. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, shows that this ...

A range of metabolic alterations accumulate over time often setting off the path to compromised biological fitness and disease. On the other hand, genetic loci linked to exceptional longevity in model ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable interactions between cells, as detailed in a study published in Nature Communications.

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
