"Longevity science" is on the come up—and "mitochondria" appears to be its newest mascot. The cell's energy-producing center is the talk of TikTok, wellness clinics and newsletters focused on ...
Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...
A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

Researchers are piecing together the unusual chemical reactions that enable dinoflagellates to create spectacular light displays in tropical bays. But the mechanism behind their bioluminescence remain ...
Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.
Animals that resemble plants are not uncommon in the wild. Many creatures use this mimicry for camouflage purposes. One sea slug, however, doesn’t just look like a plant, it actually functions like ...

Scientists may have cracked the core cellular process that drives aging in animals
A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...
Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...
Let’s start with a quick biology refresher: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They convert the food we eat into ...
Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.
Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most ...
