Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
RAB7A plays a central role in the final stages of autophagy, facilitating autophagosome-lysosome fusion, lysosome positioning, and cargo degradation. Its activation by guanine nucleotide exchange ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...
Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...
Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...
Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...
