Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Platelets are small, anucleate blood cells that play an essential role in hemostasis. Their primary task is to recognize vascular injury, become activated, and aggregate via their surface receptor ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the ...

An implantable scaffold and magnetic probes capture circulating tumor cells directly in the bloodstream, eliminating over 90% of captured cells in rabbits and goats.

Brazilian researchers have identified previously unknown forms of a protein linked to breast cancer. The discovery ...

A healthy digestive tract is the key to good health. The digestive process is complex and the digestive tract is designed to ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a discovery that could open the door to new treatment strategies for ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Deciphering the building blocks of life has long been a painstaking process, but now a quiet revolution in computing power is changing everything – with research at the University of Otago’s Faculty ...

Full-fat dairy may actually support weight control better, especially in children. Kids who drink whole milk tend to have lower rates of overweight and obesity than those who routinely choose ...
