New research reveals a starring role for mitochondrial dynamics within adult muscle stem cells.

New research has revealed how mitochondria assemble and move iron-containing molecules around the body, with the help of the antioxidant glutathione.

An interdisciplinary research team at Heidelberg University was able to show how wound healing signals released upon injury are converted into specific signals of pattern formation and cell differentiation.

Researchers have discovered that chromatin around the site of DNA damage moves much faster to improve the accuracy of DNA repair.

Researchers have discovered that modified insulin signaling pathways in ant queens of the species Harpagnathos saltator may be responsible for their astounding longevity and reproductive ability.

Astronauts are at higher risk for developing mutations—possibly linked to spaceflight—that can increase the risk of developing cancer and heart disease during their lifetimes, according to a first-of-its kind study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Scientists from Pennsylvania State University have published a new study in Science Advances demonstrating that coral can pass somatic mutations to future generations.

Researchers have used high-resolution imaging to reveal spatial maps of how neurons in the brain stem respond to feedback from internal organs.

Researchers have developed a mathematical model of the cilium in which beating arises from a mechanical instability due to steady forces generated by the cilium motor protein, dynein.

Stress is typically thought of as a negative phenomenon, but researchers at HKU Dentistry found that “positive stress” can induce good changes in tooth stem cells to make them more resistant to injury and disease.
