Mitochondria are specialized structures within cells that are primarily responsible for energy production but that also play ...

New research shows that cells in high-energy-demanding tissues respond to mitochondrial dysfunction through a sophisticated ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Italian scientists have identified a new function of the DDX11 protein, crucial for cell maintenance and neurodegenerative diseases.

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

Their findings were published in Advanced Science in June 2022. The genetic material governing a cell’s function and behavior, called the genome, is safely stored in the nucleus.

The probability densities of the domain and cell nucleus specific energies are the fundamental quantities for expressing survival fractions in these models. These densities are calculated using the ...

This triggers a signaling cascade that opens the chromatin structure and allows changes to genomic material in the cell's nucleus. "Function is what makes static structures come alive," Sheu says.
