A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...
Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...
AMOLF researchers discovered a mysterious interplay of insulin signals in the worm C. elegans. The insulin-driven protein DAF ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...
The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...
Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a temperature. Insulin signals respond to such stress signals by sending the protein ...
