Researchers have innovatively merged protein structural data with genetic sequences to construct evolutionary trees, ...

Gut microbiota-derived phenylacetylglutamine accelerates aging by driving cellular senescence through mitochondrial ...

The new models could give antibiotics a laser-like precision to target only specific bacteria in specific parts of the body. This would represent a major step forward in the battle against the growing ...

Analysis of gut microbiomes reveals co-colonization patterns and potential therapeutic targets against Enterobacteriaceae, ...

Earth's first photosynthetic organisms—self-organize into intricate living mats, offering insights into aquatic ecosystems ...

AI models generated “effector” proteins that could shape-shift in the presence of a molecular switch. This flip-flop structure altered their biological impact on cells. A subset of these morphed into ...

Introduction: T cell activation requires T cell receptor (TCR) engagement by its specific ligand. This interaction initiates a series of proximal events including tyrosine phosphorylation of the CD3 ...

When light hits a cell, the pattern of scattering reveals information about their size and shape. It was found that this information accurately predicts oxygen release from red blood cells , and ...

The latter is manifested by a decreased population (phylotypes, i.e., genetically distinct bacterial subgroups that play different ... which ultimately causes cell death (32). Several factors ...

This discovery provides new insights into how cells establish their roles and ... demonstrating how the spatial arrangement of chromatin directs different TFs to their relevant targets, offering ...

The live-action film of Akane Shimizu's Cells at Work! (Hataraku Saibō) manga ranked at #1 in the Japanese box office in its opening weekend. The film sold a total of 612,000 tickets and earned a ...

These findings are important, says Zou, "because they highlight how cellular interactions—not just the intrinsic properties of individual cells—shape the aging process." At the heart of this ...
