Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Chronic diabetic ulcers represent one of the most challenging complications in modern healthcare, affecting over 131 million people worldwide and generating approximately $755 billion in annual ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...
