Scientists have discovered how aging blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth edge, creating fertile ground for the development of clonol hematopoiesis, a condition that dramatically ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations.

Mitochondria play a crucial role in acquiring pluripotency and determining cell fate. The mitochondrial unfolded protein ...

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings ...

In pulmonary hypertension, a combination of metabolic and mechanical dysfunction leads to irreversible vascular damage.

Damaged mitochondria are recycled within cells. Scientists find a link between cellular health and diseases like Parkinson’s ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body ...

New imaging tech reveals living cell processes, enhancing understanding of cancer, neurodegenerative & metabolic diseases for ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown ...
