It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function. Computational protein structure prediction ...

The convergence of functional biology, AI, and translational medicine is beginning to reshape how immune systems are studied, ...

The Finnish researcher was recently awarded the Körber European Science Prize for changing the way we understand cell biology ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

A single-cell study of the hippocampus suggests brain aging is not a steady decline, but a coordinated immune, vascular, and neuronal overhaul.

Stanford and UC San Diego studies track stepwise behavioral shifts in killifish and immune cell reorganization in the human ...

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 ...
