cells

The development of new tools to measure cellular aging could explain some risk factors related to the development of tumors.

At the beginning of the 21st century, and with the human genome completely sequenced, physicists, computer scientists and biologists set themselves a peculiar challenge: to create an artificial cell.

A species of spherical cyanobacteria has been found to function as eyeballs, the smallest and oldest in nature.

It is a question of survival. Our cells eliminate and recycle waste or defective elements inside. Here we explain how the alteration of this process can lead to the development or aggravation of different neurodegenerative diseases.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is, as its name suggests, a nucleic acid made up of the union of many ribonucleotides.

This somewhat strange word describes the programmed death of a cell caused by itself.

A team of researchers from the Institute of Molecular Science in La Trobe (Australia) has achieved a new scientific milestone: capturing the last stages of the death of a human white blood cell using time-lapse microscopy. The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications.

A team of researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has identified a type of cells in the brain that play a decisive role in the regulation of circadian rhythms, a kind of internal biological clock that controls everything from our sleep patterns and metabolism to our metabolism. blood pressure and hormone production.
