Important differences in how the nasal cells of young and elderly people respond to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, could explain why children typically experience milder COVID-19 symptoms, finds a new study.

A new approach could reveal critical insights into cellular communication at organelle contact sites.

A new study details how nutrient-starved cells break down protein transport stations to deal with stressful conditions.

Last month a story about a 62-year-old male made headlines after he claimed to have received 217 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Scientists invited the individual for tests to investigate what happens in the body of a hypervaccinated individual.

Scientists have devised a new molecular tool that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the nucleus of a cell to move to the cytoplasm, making it highly effective at neutralizing RNA viruses.

A deep dive into macroalgae genetics has uncovered the genetic underpinnings that enabled macroalgae, or “seaweed,” to evolve multicellularity. Surprisingly, many of these multicellular-enabling genes had viral origins.

Research suggests that with exercise, we have a natural way to improve immune health. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the molecular processes that underpin exercise immunology.

A recent discovery upends the rule that only bacteria can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, as scientists describe an organelle within a eukaryotic cell that can fix nitrogen.

The lipids in some herbal teas have been identified in detail for the first time, preparing the ground for investigating their contribution to the health benefits of the teas.

New research has revealed how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements – by getting lassoed by the supercoiled DNA.
