Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Yale researchers and their colleagues in Hungary have discovered that cells in the hypothalamus — an area of the brain that controls functions like hunger and body temperature — play a major role in ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Many microscopy techniques have won Nobel Prizes over the years. Advancements like cryo-ET that allow scientists to see the individual atoms of cells can reveal their biological functions.

For the first time, scientists have visualized a new class of molecular gates that maintain pH balance within brain cells, a critical function that keeps cells alive and helps prevent stroke and ...
