A study has provided evidence about how a protective mutation may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

A research team has discovered that human eggs are missing an important protein, which acts as a molecular motor, helping to stabilize the machinery that separates the chromosomes during cell division.

A new study has found that in order to form organs, the back ends of moving cell groups push the group into place.

A study has shown how two subsets of the CD8 T cell develop to provide either short-term or long-term immune protection.

A study has shown that the mitochondrial protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other.

A tornadolike effect caused by cells rapidly aligning in the same direction leads to the formation of cellular protrusions involved in the development of organs.

The artificial fish swims by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping heart, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a more complex artificial muscular pump and providing a platform to study heart disease like arrhythmia.

Neuroscientists have designed neural organoids to contain both mature neurons and astrocytic glial cells in relative proportions similar to that in the human brain.

Researchers from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have discovered a new clue in the search for the origin of life by showing that peptides can form on dust under conditions such as those prevailing in outer space.

Modest calorie restriction over two years can improve immunity and the ability to burn fatty acid stores for energy, reducing age-related inflammation and potentially leading to greater longevity.
