Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

University of Nevada, Reno researchers Jeanne and David Zeh of the Department of Biology have received a five-year, $650,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate the effects of ...

Mitochondria are inherited maternally in most crops. Occasional transmission of paternal mitochondria (paternal leakage) can lead to a mixed mitochondrial genome population and recombination between ...

Across the cell cycle, mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by a cycling wave of actin polymerization/depolymerization. In metaphase, this wave induces actin comet ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular powerhouses are in a 1.5-billion-year-old evolutionary relationship—but ...

A study published in the latest issue of Science reveals a cellular mechanism involved in the inheritance of genetic mutations. The study also points to a potential treatment that could reduce the ...

Aging affects every single living organism at a deep microscopic level. Biological systems slow down as birthday candles ...
