When cells 'eat' their own power plants: Scientists solve mystery of basic cellular process Date: September 30, 2013 Source: University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences Summary: A team ...

According to the researchers, these findings suggest that differences in shape from cell-to-cell within a tissue are key to their ability to jam and unjam—and that this process appears to drive ...

Her group, working with the group of Giovanni D'Angelo at EPFL, have published a study uncovering how pathogens exploit a key cellular process to intoxicate cells.

Scientists have for the first time defined the structure of one of the cell's most basic engines, which is required for cell growth, as it assembles from its components.

HOUSTON – (July 12, 2023) – A new study by Rice University bioscientists explains how basic cellular structures common to most life forms collaborate to fuel growth in a model plant organism ...

A recent Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) study published in the journal Science investigating the molecular structure and function of an essential plant hormone could profoundly change our ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, University of Minnesota researchers discovered a novel cellular process that can engulf nanomaterial without direct peptide functionalization, and ...

The process of autophagy occurs all the time, whether a cell is starving or not, but at a basal level. Under normal conditions autophagy removes damaged proteins and organelles to prevent cell damage.

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling process and create "garbage bags" to remove proteins.
