Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

The study reveals vast differences in gene activity within the mitochondria of males compared to females. This is the first study to test effects of all 37 genes in the mitochondrial genome -- genes ...

Discover how targeted red and near-infrared light therapies influence mitochondrial biology, cellular repair pathways, and emerging clinical treatments across multiple health systems.

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

Most biological chemistry research has historically focused on the obvious cogs of machinery that keep life moving. Folding proteins, genetic activity and electrical signaling pathways are the easiest ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...
