How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...
