Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

A French research team led by CNRS scientists has discovered that cells are able to retain a memory of a previous perturbation within the 3D structure of their genome, independently of their DNA ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell. Every plant, ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...
