Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Filamentous cyanobacteria represent a distinctive group of oxygenic photoautotrophs that exhibit a remarkable form of prokaryotic multicellularity. These organisms form elongated trichomes in which ...

Intercellular forces generate distinct patterns of extrusion: high compressive forces (top panel) drive apoptotic cell extrusion toward the upper side, while lower compressive forces (bottom panel) ...

TNBCs rely on fatty acid oxidization (FAO) to fuel tumor growth by breaking down surrounding adipose tissue through lipolysis. Gap junctions, particularly involving GJB3 and connexin 31 (Cx31), ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance or ...

Scientists have long known that the cells' "protein destruction machine," the proteasome, plays a crucial role in protein clearance within the brain. However, a new study published in Science has ...
